Rolex Submariner Date Nipple Dial 1680

Rolex Submariner Date reference 1680, which holds historical significance as the very first solid 18k yellow gold diver's watch introduced by Rolex. It features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from solid yellow gold, paired with a matching unidirectional rotating bezel that houses a black 60-minute graduated insert. The standout visual element of this watch is its iconic "nipple dial," characterized by raised, cone-shaped gold hour markers filled with tritium lume, complemented by the standard Mercedes hands and a date wheel displayed at the 3 o’clock position beneath the magnified Cyclops lens. This specific model is powered by the legendary, chronometer-certified automatic Caliber 1570 movement and is secured on a solid gold three-link Oyster bracelet with a folding safety clasp.
