Since its introduction in 1953, the Rolex Submariner was continuously upgraded and undergone many technical evolutions. Superseding the 16610, the reference 116610 was introduced in a stainless steel and gold combination in 2009, unveiling the new face of the "modern Submariner". In 2010, Rolex released the highly anticipated stainless steel version of the world's most famous divers' watch. The new timepiece noticeably showcased the bulkier, fat case design, which Rolex paired with their patented and virtually scratchproof Cerachrom bezel insert. In order to increase legibility and under-water usability, the indexes were furthermore filled with the effective blue Chromalight luminescent material. The timepiece encases the highly accurate and reliable calibre 3135, beating at a modern 28'800 vibrations per hour.
This example is in excellent unworn condition with case back sticker, bezel protector and is accompanied by its original guarantee card as well as its full suite of accessories.
