Relojeria Alemana is a Spanish retailer of fine timepieces and an authorized dealer for Rolex with a history spanning over 140 years. Founded by German entrepreneur William Krug in 1879, the first boutique was in Colón street in Palma de Mallorca. The reign was then passed on to his friend Pablo Fuster Cortes and since then it has become a family business. In 1968, the reign was passed on to the second generation Pablo Fuster Tarongi and is now a retailer to the world’s most celebrated watch brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe.

To commemorate the 135th Anniversary of Relojeria Alemana, Rolex made 135 examples of the Submariner ref. 116610LN with a specially engraved caseback to celebrate the event. Whilst not every retailer in the world can celebrate their anniversary in such fashion, Rolex commemorative timepieces are extremely rare, making the Relojeria Alemana anniversary edition a delight to have.

The present example ref. 116610LN “Relojeria Alemana” is presented in absolute “New Old Stock” condition with all its factory protective stickers intact on the case. Furthermore, to further enhance the originality of this present example, it is further accompanied by a letter from Rolex indicating that the present example bearing the serial CH365632 belongs to one of the examples from a limited edition of 135 pieces. Accompanied by the full set of accessories, the present specimen is most certainly a desirable timepiece to acquire.
