Lot Essay

In 1953, Rolex set the base of an unequalled success story with the launch of the first Submariner model. Originally promoted as "the diver's friend", the Submariner became soon the world's most legendary tool watch and, generations later, is still enjoying wide popularity in its actual version.

The model is illustrated in Rolex Submariner by Guido Mondani & Lele Ravagnani, pp. 128 & 129.
