Affectionately nicknamed "Smurf", this Submariner is lavishly set with baguette sapphires on the bezel and diamonds on the shoulders. Incredibly eye-catching and dazzling, this timepiece shows Rolex's expertise in the time-consuming job of selecting, along with setting, well-matched hard stones and gemstones.

As with all Rolex watches, functionality lies at the heart of everything. Interestingly, the first nine sapphires are lighter in tone and color - they represent the classic dive bezel graduated for decompression times. As a design twist, the beautiful deep soleil dial does not display a depth rating.

Offered without reserve and preserved in excellent and almost new-old-stock condition, the present watch is accompanied by a Rolex guarantee, additional links, product literature, presentation box and outer packaging. It most notably just left the Rolex retailer mere months ago in May.
