The Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610 remains one of the most universally respected sports watches ever made. Balanced proportions, timeless design, and bulletproof reliability make it a cornerstone of both modern and vintage Rolex collecting.
This 2005 example is particularly appealing thanks to two major selling points that matter most in today’s market condition and documented Rolex servicing. The watch presents in very nice overall condition, and crucially, it has recently been serviced by Rolex and is under Rolex international warranty until May 2027. That alone places it firmly in the “buy with confidence” category.
For buyers who want a Submariner they can wear daily without compromise, this is exactly the kind of 16610 to look for.

A Word on Condition
The watch is in very nice condition for its age, with a clean case, well-preserved dial and bezel, and a bracelet that remains tight and wearable. It has clearly been looked after and worn sensibly.
Importantly, this is not a watch relying on cosmetic claims alone. The recent official Rolex service confirms the mechanical health of the watch and removes the uncertainty that often comes with buying pre-owned sports models.
Service History & Provenance
This Submariner comes with its original inner and outer Rolex box, Oyster booklets, Rolex wallet, calendar card, and original papers showing sale in Dubai in June 2005.
It also includes a Rolex service card, with the watch now covered by Rolex service warranty until May 2027, supplied with the new digital service card from the Rolex Service Centre. This level of documentation adds real value and peace of mind.
