1988 Rolex Submariner ref 168000 Star Dust Dial
Due to unprecedented volatility in the precious metals markets, item pricing may not be up to date. We make every effort to keep our pricing accurate, but please contact us to confirm the most up-to-date pricing.
Rolex Submariner with pre-ceramic bezel insert with stunning patina of its original pre-ceramic black bezel insert, making this collectible timepiece into its own Van Gough, due to exposure to natural sunlight and salt Ocean water.
The 16,8000 is known as a transitional Rolex offered for just a year, and had new advances including a quick date set, sapphire crystal and a non-allergic stainless steel bracelet and case. We believe this to be an undervalued reference with tremendous upside.
A unique defect in the lacquer finish of the dial has result in the most unique patina, known as "Star Dust."
