While retaining similar aesthetics to its predecessor, the most significant enhancement is the introduction of the Cerachrom bezel insert. This durable, scratch-resistant material replaces the previous metallic insert, offering increased robustness. The design also incorporates a Maxi-dial, a tribute to vintage Submariners, enhancing legibility and style. Additionally, the new bracelet is equipped with a highly practical Glidelock clasp extension, allowing the wearer to effortlessly adjust the length of the bracelet by up to 20mm for optimal comfort. The striking blue dial and blue bezel combination on this reference creates a beautiful contrast, accentuating the luxuriousness of the yellow gold case and bracelet.

Rolex’s Certified Pre-Owned program was introduced by the brand at the end of 2022 and officially offered to Rolex retailers worldwide in spring 2023. Phillips HK is pleased to be offering a “Certified Pre-Owned” watch from Rolex for the first time at our auctions.
