Description

1983 Rolex 16758 “LAva dial”

This thing is hot like FIRE! While there is no way to know exactly how this dial aged this way, it seems to be very common for brown nipple dials of this era to take of varying degrees of this effect. Craft & Tailored sold one similar last year.

Discover all the different variants of this specific reference that can enhance, or limit, this watch's value and collectability.

Tropical Dial

A dial that has aged from black to a brown or caramel color due to prolonged exposure to sunlight and elements. Highly prized for its unique and attractive aging. Greatly increases value due to unique appearance and collector demand.

Rivet Bracelet

A bracelet design with visible rivet heads on the side of the links, characteristic of vintage Rolex models.

Nipple Dial

The "nipple dial" is a term used to describe a specific type of dial found on certain vintage Rolex watches, particularly the Rolex GMT-Master and Submariner models from the 1970s and 1980s. The distinguishing feature of a nipple dial is its hour markers: instead of the usual flat or applied markers, these dials have raised, gold-trimmed markers that resemble small "nipples." These markers are typically made of gold and are filled with luminous material, allowing them to be easily read in low-light conditions. The nipple dial is considered highly desirable among collectors due to its distinctive look and its association with vintage Rolex models.
