We are thrilled to offer another tropical surprise: a former blue-dialed Submariner Date, reference 1680/8 (the /8 denoting the 18k yellow gold execution)! The dial has transformed into a stunning caramel color, with some areas along the edge retaining a cool blue/purple hue—an incredible effect! The dial is complemented by a lovely yellow patina on the nipple markers and hands. We’ve also added a super dome glass, without a loupe, to enhance the two-tone effect on the dial. The 18k yellow gold case is in fantastic condition, and the blue inlay remains a vibrant royal blue with no fading. The 18k gold bracelet is also in excellent shape, showing no stretch, and features solid end links with a clasp stamped 'C,' fitting wrists up to 18.5 cm. This watch has been fully serviced by our watchmaker. We’re excited to bring you this rare and remarkable tropical diver. Call us today to make it yours!
