Description from the seller

Rolex Submariner Date 16610 – Full Set – 1990 – Tritium Dial – Cal. 3135 – Excellent Overall Condition

Beautiful Rolex Submariner Date ref. 16610 from 1990, featuring the highly appreciated early tritium dial configuration and the legendary Rolex calibre 3135 automatic movement.

A classic and increasingly collectible Submariner reference, combining vintage charm with excellent everyday wearability.

Specifications:
• Reference: 16610
• Year: 1990
• Serial: L-Serial
• Movement: Rolex Calibre 3135 Automatic
• Case size: 40 mm
• Material: Stainless Steel
• Crystal: Sapphire
• Bezel: Black unidirectional rotating bezel
• Dial: Original black tritium dial
• Bracelet: Original Rolex Oyster bracelet
• Bracelet length: approx. 16 cm closed wrist size
• Condition: Excellent overall condition considering its age

The watch has been carefully preserved and only moderately worn over the years. It remains in excellent overall condition considering its age, with light signs of use consistent with a carefully worn vintage Rolex from 1990.

The sapphire crystal presents a few very light superficial marks visible only under certain angles or lighting conditions. The movement runs with precision.

Last service performed around 2014 by an authorized Rolex jeweler. Since then, the watch has been mostly stored safely in its box.

Included in the full set:
• Original Rolex inner box
• Original Rolex outer box
• Original warranty certificate with matching serial and reference
• Rolex Submariner booklet
• Rolex Oyster booklet

Please note:
• The bracelet is currently missing 1–2 links compared to a complete original full-length bracelet.
• Shipping costs, insurance, customs duties and import taxes are NOT included in the final auction price.
• The watch will be shipped carefully packaged and fully insured via secure courier service. The indicated shipping amount is a standard Catawiki estimate. Final shipping cost may vary depending on destination, and insurance requirements. Estimate shipping costs for Europe are around 150 euros. Out of Europe around 300 euros.
• Serious bids only, please.

An authentic and highly attractive example of one of the most iconic Rolex sports watches ever produced, increasingly difficult to find in original full set configuration from this period.
