Pre‑Owned Rolex Submariner Date 168000 1988 Watch
A classic and highly collectible dive watch, this Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 168000 from 1988 represents a short‑lived transitional model within the Submariner lineage. Produced for a brief period, this reference is often referred to by collectors as the “Triple Zero,” marking Rolex’s shift to more corrosion‑resistant steel while retaining vintage design characteristics.
Presented in good condition and offered as watch only, this piece carries strong appeal for enthusiasts seeking an authentic vintage Submariner with everyday usability.
The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case, paired with a timeless black dial fitted with luminous baton, round, and arrow hour markers. This classic Submariner configuration ensures excellent legibility, staying true to its professional diving heritage.
A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the Triplock screw‑down crown and robust Oyster case construction provide water resistance up to 300 metres, making it a capable and reliable tool watch.
Fitted with a Rolex stainless steel Oyster bracelet, the watch maintains its iconic sporty aesthetic and comfortable wear on the wrist.
Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3035 automatic movement, this model benefits from a quickset date function and dependable performance, reflecting Rolex’s reputation for precision and durability.
