Outstanding Condition; Great Patina; 40mm ; 904L Steel, RARE!
The 168000 is very similar to the Submariner 16800 that had immediately proceded it. The 168000, however, differs in two important ways that make it among the rarest Factory Production Submariners ever made.
1) Production run of just 7-9 months in 1987/1988.
2) It is the first Submariner to use Rolex's New (at the time) upgraded 904L Stainless Steel
A Rolex workhorse made for wearing, the 168000 has the caliber 3035 workhorse movement. The original oyster bracelet is the 93150 with 593 end links.
It ticks several of the most wanted boxes. It has a Sapphire Crystal. Its movement is thoroughly usable in today’s environment. It has an innovation courtesy of the upgraded steel. And it is extremely rare thanks to its truncated 7-9 month production period. Among the shortest ever Rolex Production Runs!
