Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116659SABR

ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL SUBMARINER DATE

One of the iconic Rolex models, Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date is presented in 18 ct white gold with diamonds and sapphires. Diamond Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116659SABR is an exceptional piece that perfectly represents the art and skills of Rolex when creating watches. Attention to detail can be seen on every watch that leaves the Rolex workshop.

To adorn its timepieces with the most striking gemstones, the brand has its own in-house gemmologists and gem-setters. Gemmologists are responsible for examining and selecting the gem-stones received, retaining only those that meet Rolex’s extremely stringent quality criteria. The stones then pass into the hands of the gem-setters, who are tasked with placing and fixing each stone to best reveal its beauty, colour and sparkle.

Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116659SABR is an exclusive model that comes in a limited edition.

DIAMOND ROLEX 

Diamond Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116659SABR is presented at Baselworld 2018 and immediately attracted much attention. The bezel of the extremely rare Submariner Date is adorned with 27 dark blue baguette sapphires, 11 baguette-cut diamonds at the hour markers, and a triangle-cut diamond at 12 o’clock. Although it certainly looks beyond the classic ‘tool’ watch, this diamond watch has retained its functionality – the first 9 sapphires are lighter blue, representing a classic diving bezel graduated for decompression time. The case and crown guard are enriched with 92 brilliant-cut diamonds. This Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116659SABR approximately has 3.90 carats of sapphire and a total of 1.72 carats of diamonds on the 116659 SABR, all selected and set by the Rolex gemmology laboratory.

Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 116659SABR perfectly combines precious stones with the professional model of the Oyster Collection. That is why the amount of its production is limited, and only the wrists of a certain number of people will be adorned with this unique piece of Rolex craftsmanship.

SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER CERTIFICATION 

Like all Rolex watches, each Submariner Date is covered by the Superlative Chronometer certification redefined by Rolex in 2015. This exclusive designation testifies that every watch leaving the brand’s workshops has successfully undergone a series of tests conducted by Rolex in its own laboratories according to its own criteria. These certification tests apply to the fully assembled watch, after casing the movement, guaranteeing superlative performance on the wrist in terms of precision, power reserve, waterproofness and self-winding. The precision of a Rolex Superlative Chronometer is of the order of −2/+2 seconds per day, or more than twice that required of an official chronometer.

The Superlative Chronometer status is symbolized by the green seal that comes with every Rolex watch and is coupled with an international five-year guarantee.
