Rolex Submariner 6204 Tritium Service Dial and Hands
Debuting in 1953 and released to the public the following year, the Rolex Submariner has undoubtedly become one of the most iconic timepieces of all time thanks to its legendary status as Rolex's flagship dive watch. Used extensively by the British Royal Navy and professional diving operations like COMEX, the Submariner set the bar for all dive watches to follow. Featuring a genuinely timeless design that has remained relatively unchanged throughout its history, this Rolex has become the archetypal sports watch. With very few large-scale aesthetic upgrades made to it over the years except for timely advancements like introducing a date function to the collection in the late '60s, and its modern cerachrom bezels, the Submariner is seen as the prototypical dive watch thanks to its consistency. The Submariner has earned its status as a legendary watch, with it today remaining as one of the most sought-after timepieces around. Offered here we have one of the Submariner's first two references, the ever-iconic ref. 6204.
THE DIAL Featuring the Submariner's signature black dial, this ref. 6204's display's stunning deep orange patina on its hour markers and hands stand out prominently.
THE CONSTRUCTION Boasting a black anodized aluminium bezel insert with a dial and hands-matching aged luminous pip, this Submariner's aesthetic is decidedly patinated.
