{"product_id":"rolex-submariner-1680-white-box-papers","title":"Rolex Submariner 1680 \"White\" - Box \u0026 Papers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rolex Submariner was first introduced by Rolex in 1953 and is notable for being one of the first watches specifically designed for diving. Beyond its technical capabilities, the Submariner has become an icon in the world of watches, with a timeless design that has remained largely unchanged since its introduction. It is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential watches of all time, and has become a symbol of Rolex's reputation for quality, durability, and precision. The Sub has been worn by everyone from professional divers and military personnel to Hollywood celebrities and heads of state, cementing its place in the pantheon of iconic watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Submariner, circa 1977, is affectionately referred to by collectors as the \"White Sub\" due to its white model text on the dial. This iteration marks the later half of ref. 1680 production and still offers a solid relative value today given where the \"Red Sub\" trades. This example is a seldom seen find given its relatively complete delivery of accessories from its inner and outer boxes, punched warranty papers, booklet and wallet. It has remained in very nice vintage condition overall with a \"cream\" patina'd dial that has no distracting wear. The insert has ghosted to a gorgeous blue\/grey with light signs of use. The case is also thick and evenly proportioned. It comes fitted to a Rolex folded link 93150\/580 with matching VB date code and light stretch. It retains 11 links fitting an approximate 7.25 inch wrist. We're thrilled to offer this lovely example which has just come from a full service and is ready to enjoy for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more of our vintage \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vintage-rolex-watches\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Vintage Rolex watches at Collectors Corner NY\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRolex watches\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67951614886164,"sku":null,"price":17600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/8603\/3428\/files\/rolex-submariner-1680-white-box-papers-hero-vintage-watches-collectors-corner-ny.jpg?v=1793847249","url":"https:\/\/collectorscornerny.com\/products\/rolex-submariner-1680-white-box-papers","provider":"Collectors Corner NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
