Rolex Submariner Date 16613 Bi Metal 18K Gold & Steel 1997 Box & Papers Full Set

Iconic Black dial Bi Metal Submariner.

This Stunning Example has everything from new in August 1997. Including the punched papers certificate, Original Receipt from Mappin & Webb Oxford Street London, Inner and Outer oxes, Swing Tag with Serial number, Submariner booklet, Your Rolex Oyster booklet, Leather Document Holder, Translation Booklet and even the Anchor. Full set.

In lovely condition with general signs of wear. The case remains well defined, does not look to me like it has ever been polished.

Original tritium dial, hands and bezel pip, all have very gently aged to a light creamy colour. The black bezel has also very subtly turned to a deep midnight blue tone. Very attractive.

Sapphire crystal is spotless.

The watch runs well and keeps time.

Bracelet is all original to the watch with only minor stretch. Impressive for a near 30 year old bracelet. Model code 93153 H18. 18K Gold and Steel.

Bracelet clasp code Z1 Designates January 1997.

Case Serial number T50**** dates production to around late 1996/ early 1997.

All in all a gorgeous example of a very collectible watch. Full set with everything from new. Getting harder to find examples like this that haven't been tucked away in collector's faults.
