Rolex - Rolex Submariner 14060 "Two Line" w/ Striking Patina
The Rolex Submariner was first introduced by Rolex in 1953 and is notable for being one of the first watches specifically designed for diving. Beyond its technical capabilities, the Submariner has become an icon in the world of watches, with a timeless design that has remained largely unchanged since its introduction. It is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential watches of all time, and has become a symbol of Rolex's reputation for quality, durability, and precision. The Sub has been worn by everyone from professional divers and military personnel to Hollywood celebrities and heads of state, cementing its place in the pantheon of iconic watches.
The ref. 14060 really brings everything loved about the vintage Submariner into the modern age. Some collectors might also prefer this ref. over the final "two line" Sub ref. 14060M due to its use of tritium lume and potential to develop patina. This particular W47X example, circa 1995 features the "two line" dial which harks back to the simplicity of the ref. 5513. This piece remains in excellent condition with a beautifully patina'd dial, offering a warm hue. The case is in excellent neo-vintage condition with thick and even lugs. The bracelet displays light stretch and retains 11 links, fitting an approximate 7.5 inch wrist.
