Description: 1987 Rolex 16808 Gold Submariner. The Gold submariner is an anomaly. Originally conceived as a diving tool and aid, the marriage of gold in place of steel has given this watch a unique position in the watch world. Is it then still a tool given its luxurious materials? We find the nipple dial with the sapphire glass to be an odd ( in a good way ) pairing that distinguishes itself in the vintage rolex world. The anodized blue dial has amazing depth and is a true deep ocean blue. The light catches the brushed dial and allows bits of the dial to reflect lighter where the light hits it just right. 

Dial: Blue nipple dial with tritium gold hands

Insert: Blue insert with Gold surround pip

Case: Excellent case with thick lugs and crownguard

Bracelet: Gold Oyster
