*Unpolished* 1987 Rolex Submariner (Ref. 168000) "Triple 0"

This specific Rolex Submariner ref. 168000 is both very rare and transitional and combines the best elements of both the vintage and modern Rolex Submariner into one complete package. The Rolex Submariner ref. 168000 was only produced in for about 7-9 months between 1987-1988 making it a very rare reference. The ref. 168000 is one of the most undervalued Rolex Submariners in the transitional range. The ref. 168000 model is considered to be a very rare variant of the Rolex ref. 16800 model due to a very short period of production and simple but substantial improvements. Hence the extra "0"  was added to the reference to differentiate this short-lived model. The main difference would be the improvement in the quality of the stainless steel, which was upgraded from grade 316L to grade 904L. After only about 9 months of production, the ref. 168000 was replaced with 16610 which is a very similar watch upgraded with the new Cal. 3135 movement. Stock # RLXSUB87168000-5 Brand Rolex S
