The Rolex Submariner 16808 Serti Dial is one of the most iconic and collectible versions of the Submariner, offering a perfect fusion of tool-watch durability and high-end luxury. Crafted from solid 18K yellow gold, this reference marks an important era in Submariner evolution, combining vintage charm with precious-metal elegance.

The highlight of this model is the renowned Serti dial, a champagne sunburst dial set with diamond hour markers and blue sapphire indexes at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock. This unique configuration gives the watch a refined, jewelry-like character without compromising its identity as a professional diver’s watch.

Paired with a vibrant blue bezel, the 16808 delivers classic Submariner aesthetics with a luxurious twist. The unidirectional bezel and luminous hands maintain the functionality expected from Rolex’s legendary dive line.

Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3035, the watch features quickset date functionality, strong reliability, and excellent long-term accuracy. The movement is admired for its robustness and is considered one of the defining calibres of this generation of Rolex sports watches.

The 18K yellow gold Oyster case offers 300-meter water resistance, showcasing Rolex’s engineering excellence. Combined with the matching Oyster bracelet, the watch delivers exceptional comfort and undeniable presence on the wrist.

Collectors value the 16808 for its rarity, historical significance, and timeless Serti dial configuration. It represents an era when Rolex combined sport and luxury in a way that continues to influence modern models.
