A must-have in a Rolex collection, produced until 1975, this watch is part of the first meter first mark 2 series, serial number 22XXXXX which had the particularity of turning brown, tropical perfect. The watch is in perfect condition, its original mk2 dial has a superb vanilla-yellow patina with the red clearly visible on white, thus thicker to the eye, and its matte black has become tropical perfect! A rare watch in this condition, as almost all of them were diving at the time. A beautiful collector's item in almost new condition, with its original folded oyster bracelet and brown dial. A must-have for any fine collection, as so few full sets have survived to the present day.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4><strong>Ultra rare Rolex red submariner mk2 ref 1680 meter first tropical<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Year:<\/strong> 1969<\/p>\n<p><strong>Serial : <\/strong>22XXXX<\/p>\n<p><strong>Movement\u00a0: <\/strong>Automatic cal 1570<\/p>\n<p><strong>Case: <\/strong>Nice thick case probably never polished with perfect angles and very visible chamfers.
