Elle n'a eu qu'un seul propriétaire. Elle est dans un état remarquable, toutes les photos publiées sont originales, sans retouches ni filtre. Le boîtier en or 18K a été entièrement révisé par Rolex, incluant le remplacement des barrettes, de la couronne, du balancier et de la masse oscillante. Il est sous garantie jusqu’en juin 2026. Le bracelet en or 18K est en parfait état d'origine et n'a jamais été poli, préservant ainsi son authenticité et son poids. Il affiche de petites rayures discrètes accumulées au fil de ses 55 années d'histoire, ainsi que deux rayures plus marquées visibles en photo. Afin d'assurer la sécurité, les cinq vis des maillons autour du fermoir ont été solidifiées à la goutte d'or par le bijoutier renommé FRED. Tous les maillons sont parfaitement et librement articulés ; seul un maillon offre une légère résistance. Cette pièce unique allie un patrimoine riche à une beauté intemporelle, offrant à son acquéreur une montre d'une rareté et d'une élégance incomparables. Presenting an exquisite piece of horological history, this Rolex Submariner M1680/8 from 1969 is a rare and distinguished find. Belonging to the first series of this iconic model, it carries a unique provenance, having been gifted by a French countess to her husband to commemorate the birth of their first child (me). Therefore the watch has only been owned by its original purchaser. She is in exceptional, pristine condition, with all photographs provided being original and unedited. The case has undergone a full service by Rolex, it is under warranty until June 2026, ensuring peace of mind for the new owner. The bracelet, crafted in solid 18K gold, remains in outstanding condition and has never been polished, preserving its original weight and character. It bears subtle signs of age, with minute scratches that add to its storied past, and two slightly more noticeable marks which are clearly shown in the photos. To ensure the integrity of the bracelet, the renowned jeweler FRED has secured the five screws adjacent to the clasp with gold soldering. Each link moves freely, with only one exhibiting a minor resistance, highlighting the care taken to maintain this watch’s original charm. This M1680/8 Rolex Submariner is not just a timepiece but a legacy, offering a blend of rich history and timeless elegance. It’s an extraordinary addition for any discerning collector seeking a truly unique and valuable treasure.
