Submariner Date Yellow Gold 2008 Box and Papers

10278 Submariner Date Yellow Gold 2008 Box and Papers A very good example of a yellow gold Submariner, featuring a blue dial and blue aluminium bezel. There is a mark on the bezel insert between the 50 and lume pip. The bracelet shows some signs of polishing around the clasp.\n\nWhile the Submariner has its origins as a practical tool watch, these watches have arguably superseded their original purpose. The original references were only produced in steel, but beginning in 1969, Rolex began to offer a solid gold dive watch in the form of the ref. 1680. A tacit acknowledgement of how watches were increasingly seen as status symbols, the gold watch was unapologetically luxurious. Despite this, they were (and still are) being built with the strictest of Rolex standards in mind, meaning that they're able to back up their flashy appearance with solid and reliable performance.\n\nRolex's Submariner is to many the definitive wristwatch. From its origins as a diver's companion and James Bond's wristwatch, the Submariner has ingrained itself into popular culture like no watch before or since. Worn and loved by bankers, rappers and watch enthusiasts alike, the Submariner possibly the most culturally significant piece of horology ever.
