Submariner Date

Reneé-Paul Jeanneret´s Dream in Gold!
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 had 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 morning board meeting and at noon go for another round in the Mediterranean with Jacques Cousteau.
In 1988, the first series of the new Submariner Rolesor Ref.16613 was introduced with the revised Caliber 3135. Our offered Submariner Date comes from this series. Our Sub is an S-series from 1993.
The watch was worn over the last few years but has been professionally refurbished by our partner atelier. The case looks beautiful accordingly. The lugs are still fat and sharp edges are present.
Superficially viewed, the Oyster bracelet is also in good condition but has stretched over the decades. The clasp is a bit loose, but closes firmly as soon as the safety clip is closed.
The watch is certainly not a safe queen to put away, but an honest everyday watch (hence the lower price) that you can wear as a daily rocker with a clear conscience and you don't have to worry if a scratch gets in - wear it, have fun and enjoy it!
The tritium dial and hands are in very good condition. The bezel ring too. The tritium pearl has a small crack.
