The first 18K yellow gold Submariner model, manufactured from around 1969 to 1979"Ref.1680/8"

A piece that allows you to enjoy a luxurious atmosphere despite being a sports model,
it is a rare model that exudes a uniquely special aura among vintage Rolexes.

Equipped with details unique to this era, such as a plastic crystal and luminous dots,
it can be said to be a model that allows you to fully enjoy the true charm of a vintage Submariner.

The piece we are introducing today was manufactured around 1977-78,

Among the Submariner/solid gold models, the four-digit model "Ref.1680/8" is by far the rarest to come on the market!

Compared to five-digit solid gold models, the market price is significantly higher,
but it is an incredibly cool model that carries an aura that fully justifies it.

Opportunities to receive this in our store are limited, and especially with a black dial x solid gold bracelet specification,
it has been approximately 2 years since our last arrival.

By the way, the original retail price of this Ref.1680/8 was also surprisingly high!!

For reference, according to the 1974 edition of the domestic catalog,
while the SS model Ref.1680 was 166,000 yen,
the Ref.1680/8 with a solid gold bracelet was a whopping 1,420,000 yen!

There was a price difference of approximately 8.6 times,
showing that it was a top-tier luxury model even back then!

For such a Ref.1680/8, its greatest appeal is surely this dial!!

A matte black dial with an applied crown logo, luminous dots,
and gold lettering makes for an incredibly cool dial.

The dial condition is exceptionally good and maintains a beautiful state even under a loupe.

The tritium lume, which has baked beautifully to a rich color, also looks great~.

The lume is all tritium!

In particular, there is no sign of lume correction, and the lume on the hands and dots is also well balanced.

While many pieces have had their bezel inserts replaced,
the fact that a period-correct MK3 insert is installed is also very attractive!!

It has a truly well-proportioned and beautiful face!!

A solid gold Submariner this well-proportioned is truly difficult to find when you start looking for one..

Although there are some scratches from use,
it is a highly recommended piece in excellent overall condition!!

The middle case is in the condition shown!
It is in good condition, especially without excessive polishing.

The lug feet are thick, and the edges are well defined!!
The brushing is also nice~.

The buckle clasp code is "C"

Many four-digit solid gold Submariners show heavy signs of use,
and it is not uncommon for the crown logo to be worn down due to polishing,
but the crown logo on this piece is also well preserved!!

The period-correct bracelet is in good condition with only slight stretching!

Wrist shot!!
This is a piece that carries the overwhelming aura unique to a 1970s solid gold Submariner!!

The first solid gold blue Submariner "Ref.1680/8 77-78 All Tritium"
The dial condition is wonderful, and the tritium, which has baked to match the color of the YG case, is an incredibly cool masterpiece!!
Equipped with a charming MK3 insert, it is a highly recommended excellent piece with a well-balanced overall appearance!!
When you encounter such a well-proportioned vintage Submariner, it is your chance~.
For customers looking for a four-digit solid gold Submariner with a focus on the individual piece, please be sure to consider it!!
