Catalogue Essay
The Submariner has been in continuous production since its first iteration released in 1953. At the time, it only featured hour, minutes, and seconds functions – no other complication. It was only in the late 1960s that Rolex introduced a date to the Submariner, a move that still causes consternation to some collectors. Rolex continues to release examples of the classic no-date Submariner. The reference 114060 was released in 2010, succeeding the reference 14060 which had been in production for 20 years then. The 114060 was discontinued in 2020, when Rolex introduced the 41mm reference 124060. The present example is preserved in unworn “new-old-stock” condition, even retaining its original factory stickers on the case and bracelet.

Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
