Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner is one of the brand's most iconic models. In 1967, the first Submariner with date launched with the reference 1680. This 'Single Red' has its nickname due to the red Submariner at 6 o'clock, as opposed to the later 1680s with white text only. The present lot features a Mark V dial which can be distinguished by the feet first depth rating, the open 6s and the horizontally aligned bars of the letters 'ft'.
