Rolex - Submariner Date Ref. 16803
The Perfect Summer Submariner Date!
The Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16803 from 1985 offered here is the perfect two-tone everyday watch for anyone who loves a pop of color!
The watch stands out with its striking blue dial and matching bezel—a combination available on the Submariner only when paired with gold. The watch’s case is in good, worn condition. The bracelet has slight stretch and signs of wear. The bezel has two slightly deeper scratches; otherwise, it also shows the usual signs of wear from the past 30 years.
The Oyster bracelet is stamped with “J5,” which, consistent with the watch, dates back to the production year of 1985.
The watch underwent a complete service in June 2026 but does not come with the original box or papers.
The watch has been fully inspected by our workshop and comes with a 1-year warranty.
