Rolex 16610 - the last of the classic aluminium bezel Submariners.
The Rolex 16610 is widely regarded as one of the finest all-round sports watches Rolex has ever produced. Manufactured between 1989 and 2010, it perfectly bridges the gap between vintage charm and modern reliability, making it one of the most sought-after references in the Submariner lineage.
This 2009 example is particularly desirable as one of the final Rolex 16610s to leave the factory. Featuring the later Rolex Calibre 3135 movement and engraved rehaut introduced on the final production models, it represents the culmination of over two decades of refinement before Rolex introduced the ceramic bezel generation.
Presented in excellent condition, this watch has clearly been exceptionally well cared for. The case remains clean and sharp, while the Oyster bracelet is impressively tight with virtually no noticeable stretch - exactly what collectors hope to find in a late-production 16610.
Supplied as a genuine Full Set, this watch includes its original Rolex boxes, warranty papers and tags, adding further confidence and collectability.
The Submariner is more than just Rolex's most recognisable sports watch, it is one of the defining watch designs of the last 70 years. Equally at home in the office, underwater or worn every day, the Rolex 16610 continues to be celebrated for its timeless proportions, aluminium bezel, balanced 40mm case and exceptional versatility.
Serviced by Rolex in 2017 and unworn since, this watch has recently been tested and is running beautifully. It is supplied with a 12-month Oakleigh Watches warranty for complete peace of mind.
For many enthusiasts, the Rolex 16610 represents the sweet spot of Submariner ownership - offering classic proportions, proven engineering and enduring collectability in one of the most iconic watches Rolex has ever created.
