1984 Rolex Submariner 16800

Rolex Submariner 16800 (1984)
 
This pre-owned Rolex Submariner 16800 from 1984 is sensational. The 16800 had an extraordinarily short run and marked a major evolution from the 1680 — introducing upgrades like a sapphire crystal and click bezel.
 
This particular model features the original matte tritium dial — a feature that disappeared after 1985 when Rolex switched to gloss dials with white gold surrounds. It’s the perfect mix of old-school charm and modern functionality.
