ROLEX. A RARE STAINLESS STEEL AUTOMATIC WRISTWATCH WITH SWEEP CENTRE SECONDS, DATE AND BRACELET

Introduced in the late 1960s, the reference 1680 was the first Submariner to feature a date indicator as well as the cyclops magnifier. Distinguished by its red Submariner printing to the dial, the “Red Sub” as it is known to collectors has become a cult classic. The present lot belongs to a very early example with a correct “MK 1” dial features “meter first” and “closed 6” and comes with a very attractive bezel insert with faded colour.
