A study in refined Nautical elegance.
Introduced in the early 1990s, this reference marked Rolex’s intention to blend sport and sophistication in a manner distinct from the tool-oriented Submariner. The 16628, rendered entirely in 18k yellow gold, speaks to that ambition — not through ostentation, but through its measured proportions and finely executed details.
At 40mm, the case wears with balance and presence, while the solid gold, bi-directional bezel features raised polished numerals that play subtly with light — functional, yet unmistakably refined. The dial is crisp white, very clean and legible, punctuated by the iconic Mercedes hands and applied markers that have jet-black Onyx markers to provide contrast.
Inside beats the Caliber 3135, one of Rolex’s most proven movements — reliable, precise, and easy to service, which collectors value for long-term ownership. The Oyster bracelet, also in 18k gold, maintains structural integrity and comfort, with the expected Rolex solidity in every component.
The 16628 isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about appreciating a moment in Rolex’s evolution — where utility and luxury found equilibrium. It offers both historical relevance and tactile satisfaction. It dates back to 1998 and remains in overall very crisp condition.
