Outstanding 1996 (made) 1997 (sold) Steel and 18ct Gold Rolex Submariner 16613 Full Set Plus

The Overview

This is a beautifully original example of the wonderful steel and solid 18ct gold Rolex Submariner 16613. The steel and gold case is in good condition but does show scratches and marks – we usually leave these unpolished but can polish both the case and bracelet if required (2 weeks or so). The original jet black and untouched dial is in excellent condition as is the bezel – we believe this is original but we guarantee it’s genuine Rolex. The super high grade chronometer standard quick-set automatic movement is in excellent condition and is being serviced this week so it’ll be available w/c  10th August. The watch sits on the original steel and solid 18ct gold bracelet which, whilst has scratches/marks is in very good condition for the age and has 12 links. In terms of provenance we have:

  • The original Rolex punched papers and wallet
  • The original Rolex calendar
  • The swing-tag with matching serial number, red chronometer chip and steel anchor
  • The original Rolex brochures
  • The original purchase receipt
  • The original Rolex box – inner and outer

This is as comprehensive as we’ve had and in view of the quality of the movement we will give a 12 month guarantee as well as a lifetime guarantee on the provenance and authenticity.
