A magnificent yellow gold Submariner with a rare Swiss-T< 25 Sultan Serti dial.
The case is in very good condition. Recently and carefully polished by our expert on behalf of our client, it displays great proportions, beautifully sharp edges, and a perfect matte finish on the top of the case. It was carried out in 2025 and the watch has been worn only a few times since. There are only minimal signs of wear.
The dial is not only stunning but also a highlight due to its rarity. It is a so-called Sultan or Serti dial. These dials are characterized by their setting on the indices. In this case, round diamond indices and sapphires at 6, 9, and 12 o’clock.
These dials are rare in themselves, but there is another factor that significantly increases their rarity. 90% of all Sultan or Serti dials are later service dials with the SWISS MADE imprint. Here we have an original dial from the period with the Swiss-T< 25 print.
The dial is in wonderful condition and so are the hands.
The bezel is still crisp and sharp and the blue inlay is great, with only light superficial signs of wear.
This fantastic yellow gold Submariner will delight its new owner with box and papers. It has been shipped to the USA and sold by rolex authorized dealer Leonardo JLRS. The accessories are truly impressive, including the original hang tag with serial number and the rare gold anchor.
The 92908 Oyster bracelet, just as the watch itself, is in excellent condition. It was perfectly polished in 2025, just as the case and shows only light signs of wear and no stretch. It comes with 12 links and is, of course, the original bracelet for the watch.
Conclusion: A yellow gold Submariner that is rarely found. Great condition, rare dial, top-notch accessories. Simply perfect.
