RolexSubmariner

KEY FACTS

• One of the key watches in Rolex’s history, the Submariner “Red” takes its nickname from the red “Submariner” text above six o’clock on the dial; later versions of Rolex’s iconic diver have their “Submariner” wording finished in white
• Manufactured from approximately 1967 - 1975, the “Red” was the first Rolex Submariner to be fitted with a date function and feature and an acrylic crystal
• Over the last four decades, the watch’s tritium-filled hour markers have developed a tropical hue patina, whilst the collectors’ favourite aluminium bezel affords the reference a stylish, understated appearance seldom found on post-2008 versions of Rolex’s eponymous dive watch
• Offered by a trade vendor in the United Kingdom 
• The watch is presented with a period Rolex-branded display box, outer sleeve and booklets
• A full service was carried out on the watch by a Rolex Service Centre in 2012, and proof of this service is included with the lot
• Service Centre protective stickers are still fitted to the watch’s caseback and flanks
• Graded as ‘Vintage’ for condition with the vendor reporting the watch to be in good working order
