A true collector’s example, this Rolex Submariner Date 16610 from 2006 is presented in fully stickered condition — an increasingly rare sight for a reference of this era. Preserved as it left the factory, this watch represents one of the final generations of the aluminium bezel Submariner before Rolex transitioned to ceramic.

The 40mm Oystersteel case houses the renowned Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement, celebrated for its durability, precision, and long-standing reputation as one of Rolex’s most dependable workhorse calibres. The classic black dial, framed by the aluminium bezel insert, features luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands, offering the unmistakable aesthetic that defined the modern Submariner for decades.

Produced during the final years of the 16610 reference, this example captures the perfect balance between vintage charm and modern reliability. The proportions, drilled lug-free case design, and slimmer profile make it particularly desirable among collectors who favour the traditional Submariner silhouette.

Supplied as a complete collector’s set, this watch includes its original Rolex box, warranty papers, booklets, swing tags, bezel protector, and all accompanying accessories — exactly as originally delivered. Fully stickered examples from this period are exceptionally scarce, especially in such preserved condition.

The 16610 is widely regarded as one of the most important transitional references in Submariner history. With production long discontinued and demand continuing to strengthen, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire an investment-grade piece of Rolex heritage.

A truly collectible Submariner and an increasingly difficult watch to source in this condition.
