The Rolex 16800 is a notable model in the Submariner series, often revered by collectors for its transitional features and vintage charm. Among its various dial configurations, the unique "tropic snake spider" dial stands out. This rare variant showcases a striking pattern where the dial surface has developed a network of fine cracks over time, resembling a spider's web, often referred to as "spidering." Additionally, the term "tropic" denotes the aged, brownish hue that the dial acquires due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. This distinctive aging process not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also makes each piece truly unique, turning the Rolex 16800 with a tropic snake spider dial into a highly coveted treasure for watch enthusiasts and collectors.

We left the case and bracelet unpolished to preserve the collectible value of this unique watch. If the buyer wishes, we can do professional polishing at our expense. It will take two days.
