Reneé-Paul Jeanneret´s Dream!
The launch of the Submariner in 1953 dates back to the idea of the then Rolex director Reneé-Paul Jeanneret. He wanted a diving watch that was technically and functionally state-of-the-art, but at the same time featured such an elegant design that it could be worn with a suit without hesitation. Thus, the Submariner was born. The watch with which you could sit in the board meeting in the morning and still go for a round in the Mediterranean with Jacques Cousteau at noon.
Our reference 16610 here was purchased in May 1992. The watch comes in a complete full set, as well as the original purchase invoice for 3,750 Marks.
The case of the watch is in good condition with strong lugs and only very light polishing over the last decades. Light signs of wear are present. Light signs of wear are visible on the bezel. A larger scratch is located at 3 o'clock.
The bracelet has age-related, light stretch. Visually, it is in very good condition with light signs of wear.
Inside ticks the extremely proven caliber 3135 since 1988. Like every Rolex movement, it performs its duty for decades without complaints with proper treatment.
