ROLEX SUBMARINER DATE 16618 – 18K YELLOW GOLD – BLUE BEZEL AND BLUE DIAL TURNING TO PURPLE
When the Submariner first hit the market in the 1950s, it was produced only in steel. It featured a time-only dial, a bidirectional bezel, and was water resistant to 100 meters. During the first two generations, the stainless steel references saw numerous updates, including the arrival of a chronometer-rated movement, an increase in case size, the implementation of crown guards, and the addition of a date window and accompanying Cyclopean lens.
