about the watch
In the vast world of horology, there is no debate on one thing: the most famous, sought after and timeless dive-watch is the Rolex Submariner. The stainless steel Submariner Date is a true icon in Rolex's history, and this neo-vintage iteration is no exception.
This celebration piece was born in 2003, for the 50th anniversary of the first Submariner. Rolex did a great job of adding some colour to accentuate the celebration part, while remaining true to the Submariner's DNA. The tradition and history of the Submariner blended with the more modern technical developments and design make it one of the most sought-after 5-digits references from Rolex.
This particular piece was sold in 2009 in Germany, and has remained in an amazing overall condition on top of being fully original. It is a mk5 dial version, with the engraved rehaut.
