Professional sale, invoice issued with VAT included in the price. It ships from the EU with no additional taxes and duties.
This Submariner 16803 is highly sought after because it was the first steel-and-gold Submariner (Rolesor) and was manufactured from 1984 to 1988. As a transitional reference, it was produced for a very short period (approximately between 1984 and 1988), which makes it a highly coveted piece among collectors due to its scarcity in the secondary market.
