Submariner 14060 - Tritium Dial with Creamy Patina - Papers & Serial Tag - 1998

Rolex Submariner 14060 - Tritium Dial with Creamy Patina - Papers & Serial Tag (1998)

A late-tritium Submariner 14060 from the final years of the pre-COSC generation, presenting with beautiful creamy patina on the lume plots and hands and a notably sharp case. Offered with the original 1998 Japanese guarantee paper and matching Rolex serial tag, this is a well-preserved example of the last purely mechanical, no-date, aluminium-bezel Submariner before the transition to Luminova and the caliber 3130.

The 14060 marks the last Submariner generation to use Rolex's classic aluminium bezel and tritium dial, and 1998-dated examples with intact provenance and unspoiled cases are increasingly difficult to source in this quality.
