CATALOGUE NOTE
This model, Ref. 1680, was launched in 1966 as the first Submariner model to feature a date aperture. Early
examples from this reference feature the word ‘Submariner’ printed in red lettering. Ultimately, the dials were
standardized so that all the printing was in white, making examples with the red printing rarer, and thus more
desirable.

CATALOGUE NOTE
This model, Ref. 16550, was first launched by Rolex in 1985. Originally Rolex offered this new reference with
standard black as well as cream dials. Ultimately, they would eliminate this option and sell only the black dial, thus
making examples with cream dials, such as the present lot, more collectible.
The present watch features the so-called ‘Railway’ dial. This designation refers to a dial on which the spaces
between the words ‘Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified’ line up from one line to the next, creating a visual
break in the printing. As Rolex re-formatted the printing on the dials, this aspect was lost. Collectors today see such
examples as more desirable.
