Specialist note

With Rolex Garantie et Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel dated July 1983 and fitted green presentation box.

Reference 16800 was launched in 1982 and introduced the quick-set date. The depth rating was increased to 1000 ft (300 m). The present watch is from the early series, still featuring the black matte dial and without the white gold frames around the luminous numerals. It is furthermore preserved in very good, original overall condition.
