Description
The quintessential Rolex, the OG.
One of the most recognizable watches in the world is the stainless steel Rolex Submariner. The model first debuted in 1953 and although several metal options including solid gold and two-tone (along with a handful of different dial/bezel colors) have since been added to the collection, it is the stainless steel versions with black dials and bezels that remain the most popular among today’s collectors.
The Rolex Submariner ref. 116610LN was the model that first introduced ceramic (Cerachrom) bezel inserts to the classic, stainless steel version of Submariner and it arguably represents the most significant update to the collection from the last several decades. This upgrade, along with an overall more contemporary design and revised bracelet, has made the Rolex Submariner 116610LN one of the most desirable luxury watches in the entire world.
While it maintains the same 40mm case diameter as the Submariner watches from the previous generation, the larger crown guards and substantially thicker lugs give it a bigger overall appearance that is immediately noticeable on the wrist. Most notably, the case of the ref. 116610LN also includes a completely redesigned bezel assembly, which offers users smoother operation and an insert crafted from Cerachrom – Rolex’s proprietary ceramic material that is virtually scratchproof and impervious to UV exposure and corrosion.
On offer today is an example from 2018, in Excellent condition with full box and papers.
