Description

This is an automatically translated text.
First introduced in 1967, the Rolex Submariner Ref. 1680 remained in production until the 1980s. Of all the variations it underwent in production, the most sought-after remained the "Red", designating the word "Submariner" painted in red, found only during the first half of production until 1975.

This watch is the rarest and most sought-after of all, since it is a Meter First, produced for a very short year from 1969... But that's not all.

During the 1680 Meter First production year alone, 3 generations of dials were produced, from 2.0* serials to 2.4* serials.

The rarest of all dials, nicknamed "Long f" because of the size of the "f" in "Feet" on the dial, only equipped 1680s for a few months. It was only present on 1680s with serial numbers between 2.07* and 2.2.

This is one of them, and suffice it to say that it is quite simply the rarest of all the 1680s produced. The dial is extraordinary, with a uniform patina, as are the case and bracelet, which are in excellent overall condition.

A rare and exceptional watch, with all its original parts and a dial that has been constantly embellished over the years.
