Introduced in 1953, the Rolex Submariner was the world’s first watch to be water-resistant to 100 metres, quickly becoming the benchmark for professional diving watches. Over the decades, it has evolved with features such as the unidirectional rotatable bezel, luminescent hour markers, and the robust Oyster case.
Collectors prize rare references, unique dial variations, and watches with original documentation. Vintage models, particularly those with patina, limited production runs, or historic provenance, are highly desirable at auction.
