How do I bid? Start here

Introduction

Debuting in 1953 and released to the public the following year, the Rolex Submariner has undoubtedly become one of the most iconic timepieces of all time thanks to its legendary status as Rolex's flagship dive watch. Used extensively by the British Royal Navy and professional diving operations like COMEX, the Submariner set the bar for all dive watches to follow. Featuring a genuinely timeless design that has remained relatively unchanged throughout its history, the Rolex has become the archetypal sports watch. With very few large-scale aesthetic upgrades made to it over the years except for timely advancements like introducing a date function to the collection in the late '60s, and its modern cerachrom bezels, the Submariner is seen as the prototypical dive watch thanks to its consistency. The Submariner has earned its status as a legendary watch, with it today remaining as one of the most sought-after timepieces around.

Launched in 1990, the Rolex Submariner ref. 14060 is known as “the last of the best” due to its position as the last no-date Submariner to ever feature an aluminum bezel insert which is a major design details that remains rooted in vintage Rolex.

Boasting a jet-black dial that is free from any signs of aging and a jet-black aluminum bezel insert that is also free from any signs of aging or wear, this example's display is almost exactly as it was when it was originally sold.

THE CONSTRUCTION

Featuring the Submariner's iconic stainless steel construction, this ref. 14060M boasts hollow end-links, a 'holes case', and hollow center links in its bracelet, which means it retains a strong vintage feel on the wrist.

Condition

Watch is in overall excellent condition. The steel case shows light surface scratches along with a more noticeable ding to the upper right lug near the bezel and evidence of a previous polish, while the case back remains clean. The bezel remains well defined, and the black insert shows some surface scratches and marks. The dial and hands remain near mint. It is fitted with a solid-link Oyster bracelet showing surface scratches and light play between the links. The bracelet is fitted with 12 links, 2 of which are removable, and fits approximately a 7¾” wrist. Comes complete with inner and outer boxes, warranty card, booklet, card holder, two hangtags, and additional service cards and booklets.

Our Perspective

Sitting on the fence between modern and vintage Rolex, the ref. 14060 is a true transitional reference with its modern movement combining with its neo-vintage construction to create a timepiece that is firmly rooted in both eras.
