ROLEX VINTAGE 80's SUBMARINER 16800,168000 Genuine limited Anchor 300 Metres 1000Feets GREEN DOT RARE

Rolex Submariner 300 m / 1000 ft Anchor

This authentic Rolex anchor in cast steel belongs to the very select category of collector’s accessories that only the most discerning enthusiasts have the opportunity to acquire.

Produced in extremely limited quantities during the estimated 1981–1987 period, it accompanied presentation sets for men’s Rolex Submariner watches rated to 300 metres / 1000 feet, notably references 16800 and 168000.

It reflects a pivotal moment in the Submariner’s history: the point at which Rolex’s iconic diving watch reached a new technical benchmark and reinforced its position as the definitive luxury tool watch.

An Exceptional Piece for the Discerning Collector

Far more than a promotional accessory, this anchor has become a true object of desire in the world of vintage Rolex collecting. Very few examples have survived, and genuine pieces now appear only exceptionally on the market.

Placed alongside a Submariner 16800 or 168000, it brings rare historical depth and visual coherence. For the collector seeking a truly complete set, it is the distinctive detail that separates a fine watch from a genuinely remarkable presentation.

Rolex Signature, Precision and Finish

Made from cast and hardened steel, this anchor displays a level of craftsmanship consistent with the standards of the manufacture. Its compact design, bright polished finish and carefully executed engravings give it a refined and instantly recognisable presence for connoisseurs.

Its key characteristics include:

Cast and hardened steel, robust and carefully finished

Bright polished finish, elegant and luminous

Rolex engravings on the sides and face, crisp and characteristic

Rigid green plastic medallion, with raised “300m” and “1000ft” markings

Weight: approximately 8 grams

Estimated period: 1981–1987

The green medallion, a visual signature of this generation, directly recalls the depth rating of the professional Submariner watches with which it was associated.

Rolex Watches Associations :

This anchor is chiefly associated with the landmark 300-metre Rolex Submariner references:

Rolex Submariner ref. 16800

Rolex Submariner ref. 168000

This same family of anchors also existed for Rolex Sea-Dweller diving watches, notably reference 16660.

It naturally belongs in a high-level full set, a display dedicated to Rolex accessories, or a carefully curated presentation designed to showcase the history of a collectible Submariner.

Cosmetical condition :

The steel body is very well preserved overall, with a bright finish that highlights the quality of the metal and the relief of its engravings.

The rigid green plastic medallion has a few light surface storage marks, visible in the photographs. These remain discreet and do not affect either the readability or the raised relief of the “300m” and “1000ft” markings. They are also consistent with the authentic character of a period accessory preserved for more than three decades.

A Rare Opportunity

Genuine period Rolex accessories cannot simply be replaced: they are searched for, encountered rarely, and preserved with care. This Rolex 300 m / 1000 ft anchor brings together the qualities sought by the most demanding collectors: rarity, authenticity, a direct link with iconic Submariner references, and outstanding display appeal.

It may be kept as a collector’s piece in its own right, displayed beside a Submariner 16800 or 168000, or elegantly repurposed as a distinctive keyring.

Offered as found and exactly as shown in the photographs.
