Produced for only around 9 months between 1987 and 1988, this transitional reference marked the first use of 904L stainless steel in a Submariner—ushering in the era of modern Rolex materials. Featuring classic vintage details like a tritium dial, aluminum bezel, and sapphire crystal. This particular piece stands out with a beautifully aged patina on the markers and hands, adding warmth and character that only time can create. With its extremely limited production run and place in Rolex history, the model stands out as a more collectible and character-rich alternative to its mass-produced successor.
