Description from the seller
This watch is a Rolex Submariner Date (reference 16613), a famous two-tone diving model in stainless steel and 18-karat yellow gold, featuring a blue dial and blue bezel.
Specifically, the lower inscription "SWISS-T < 25" on the dial indicates the use of tritium as the luminescent material for the indices. This detail places the production of this specific dial between the late 1980s and the late 1990s (approximately 1988–1998), before Rolex definitively switched to Luminova and Super-Luminova materials.
Key Model Features
Materials: 904L stainless steel and 18-karat yellow gold (configuration known as Yellow Rolesor).
Dial and Bezel: cobalt/blue electric color with an aluminum bezel insert.
Movement: Rolex-manufactured automatic calibre 3135.
Water Resistance: Resistant to 300 meters (1000 feet) of depth, as stated on the dial.
Condition
The piece in the photo shows evident and widespread signs of wear, pronounced scratches on the aluminum bezel, on the sapphire crystal (especially near the Cyclops magnifying lens), and on the steel case.
Valuation: €13,000
Reserve price: €8,800
