US$15,000-25,000
With Rolex fitted presentation box and outer packaging.
The appearance of the present watch may come as a surprise to some collectors, but the combination of the "royal" blue bezel and the vibrant purple dial is most appealing for this rare watch. This gold Submariner stuns by its unusual and charismatic reflective brushed purple dial. The shine coming from its surface is only heightened by the special applied luminous dot, baton and dagger numerals. Avid Rolex collectors have coined the term "nipple" dial for watch faces adorned with these applied indices with stylish gold surround. While the dial of this watch was originally of blue colour, a mix of exposure to the elements, including strong ultra-violet light, has changed the property of the paint on the watch face to a very rare and "unique" purple colour. This type of "ageing" can occassionaly be found on some Rolex watches, making them even more attractive to the collector.
The gilt graphics on the dial are particular to the gold version of the reference and befit the watch perfectly. Overall in very good condition, this is a golden opportunity for any collector to obtain a very rare and attractive gold Submariner.
