The Rolex Submariner reference 16803 is a 40mm timepiece in Steel and Yellow Gold presented in used condition, with a Blue Standard dial, Blue Standard bezel, Oyster bracelet, dated circa 1985. Every watch is inspected and authenticated by our specialists before it is offered, so you can buy with confidence.
Condition is where value lives. Box, papers, and bracelet all factor into price, and stretch on older Oyster bracelets is common, with replacement adding cost. On vintage references, dial originality carries the most weight; tropical or ghost dials can lift a watch well beyond standard market pricing. Our desk checks each of these points before you commit, so confidence comes built in. Read the full Submariner buying guide ›

Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, the Geneva house pioneered waterproofing, self-winding movements, and date displays. Our specialists examine the Oyster case, Perpetual movement, and Cyclops lens in house, so you can commit to a piece with genuine confidence. Browse all Rolex ›
