Enhancing the efficiency and functionality of their watches, Rolex continued to strive for technical upgrades of its movement, and the reference 16800 is a proud example of their innovation. The reference 16800 was first launched in the 1970s with a quick date change through the crown that was never seen before. With a redesigned bezel and the addition of a sapphire crystal, the new submariner improves its depth rating from the original 200 meters to a remarkable 300 meters.The rarity of this watch is only enhanced by the Tiffany & Co. signature at 6 o'clock.
