The Rolex Submariner reference 16 618 is an iconic and luxurious variant of the Submariner line, renowned for its seamless blend of professional dive watch capabilities and opulent materials. Originally crafted solely in stainless steel, the Submariner underwent a significant transformation to meet evolving tastes, leading to the introduction of models in alternative materials such as yellow gold. The reference 16 618, showcased here, exemplifies this luxurious evolution. Produced between 1988 and 2008, this version marked a lavish chapter in the legacy of the world’s most sought-after divers’ watch. The 18K yellow-gold case and bracelet not only elevate the tool watch’s durability but also add a layer of opulence, making it a standout piece. The contrasting black dial and unidirectional rotatable bezel, essential features for divers, are further enhanced by the yellow-gold case, which amplifies the overall aesthetic impact. Featuring the calibre 3135, a newly introduced movement at the time and shared with its stainless-steel counterpart, the reference 16 618 represents the final generation of gold Submariner models. This incredibly well-preserved reference 16 618 is accompanied by its original warranty, adding to its allure and making it a compelling addition to any collection.
