We present a significant transitional reference, the Rolex Submariner "Bluesy" 16803. This is a pivotal model that introduced the modern convenience of a sapphire crystal and a quickset date function to the iconic two-tone Submariner line. Its brilliant blue and gold aesthetic is instantly recognizable. While this watch displays the authentic character and wear of a vintage piece, its legendary Calibre 3035 movement has been fully serviced by our workshop and is running flawlessly.
