Excellent example of Rolex Submariner Date, reference 16610, produced in 1989 (serial number L80xxxx) and originally sold in 1990.
Preserved in superb overall condition, this Submariner Date seduced us with its resolutely neo-vintage appearance: while the reference 16610 has all the advantages of “modern” Rolex models — scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, durable steel alloy, deep water resistance, ultra-reliable, precise and robust movement — the luminescent material (tritium base) of the dial and hands has developed a superb warm and homogeneous “eggshell” patina, giving this watch an unmistakable vintage charm.
The case is remarkably strong and its angles are sharp. The chamfers are clearly defined, and the original green Rolex sticker is even still present on the caseback, attesting to the fact that this piece has been worn only very little since its manufacture 35 years ago.
This watch comes with its original "punched" Rolex guarantee, which records an initial sale on September 3, 1990, from Antonio Gordillo García Joyero, an official Rolex retailer in Cadiz, Spain, and the steel Amplitude° Warranty Card.
It is fitted with a complete (12 links) stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet, with safety clasp and diving extension, reference 93150, buckle code O6 (production in June 1990).
A superb example that combines vintage charm and the comfort of modern watches.

Condition

This Rolex Submariner Date reference 16610 is preserved in excellent overall condition.
The case retains beautiful proportions and the alternation between brushed/satin and mirror-polished surfaces is perfect. The lugs feature prominent chamfers. The reference and serial numbers, present between the lugs, are perfectly legible.
The self-winding mechanical movement, Rolex caliber 3135, operates to the strictest tolerances.
The steel Rolex Oyster bracelet is complete (12 links), and in excellent condition.
The dial and hands are also in very good condition, and their luminescent material (tritium base) has developed a superb warm and even “eggshell” patina.
