Please note other countries may have comparable import restrictions for luxury watches..Pre-Lot Text.A DIVER'S DREAM COME TRUE.(citation from Rolex Submariner 1962 advertisement).The Collection of a European Gentleman.Christie's are proud to offer one of the most complete private collections of the celebrated Submariner and Sea-Dweller models ever to appear in public in recent years. Assembled by a passionate collector of these icons over more than two decades, the watches show the development and the different variants of the model. The collection is divided in three parts offered in each session of this auction (lots 21 - 28, 148 - 155, 259, 261 - 269)..Already in the late 1940s, Rolex scientifically researched further improvement of the water-resistance of their well-established Oyster system. Hans Wilsdorf and the engineers of Rolex set out to demonstrate that watches could be made nearly infinitely waterproof by developing the ultra water-resistant Deep Sea Special. This model achieved in 1953 the unimaginable by making the deepest dive in history to 10,915 meters (35,810 ft), fixed to the outside of Professor Picard's bathyscape, demonstrating the huge potential for professional diver's wristwatches..The Turn-O-Graph model reference 6202 (see lot 160 in this auction) was chosen to serve as the base for further development of Rolex's ambition to manufacture a commercial diver's wristwatch. In 1953, Rolex set the base of an unequalled success story with the launch of the Submariner concept, officially introduced at the 1954 Basle Fair. Originally promoted as the diver's friend, the Submariner became soon the world's most legendary tool watch and, generations later, is still enjoying wide popularity in its actual version..Since its introduction until the present day the development of the Submariner clearly demonstrates Rolex philosophy of updating their models as innovations occur. Always seeking perfection, Rolex is one of the world's leading brands when it comes to patents obtained for the numerous innovations and technologies, notably the Submariner's unidirectional bezel designed for safe immersion time tracking..True to one of the firm's motto An Obsession with Perfection, the Submariner's history of development shows how the model progressed on its journey to excellence. Each model has distinctive characteristics in regard to the movement, case, bezel and dial layout and was attributed its personal reference number right from the beginning..The following listing summarizes the years of introduction and characteristics of the different models offered in this collection. A more detailed description has been added to the relevant lot numbers.1953/1954.Reference 6204 (lot 266) - first diving watch marked Submariner on the dial.Released in 1953 but officially launched at the Basle Fair in 1954.

The collection is divided in three parts offered in each session of this auction (lots 21 - 28, 148 - 155, 259, 261 - 269)..Already in the late 1940s, Rolex scientifically researched further improvement of the water-resistance of their well-established Oyster system. Hans Wilsdorf and the engineers of Rolex set out to demonstrate that watches could be made nearly infinitely waterproof by developing the ultra water-resistant Deep Sea Special. This model achieved in 1953 the unimaginable by making the deepest dive in history to 10,915 meters (35,810 ft), fixed to the outside of Professor Picard's bathyscape, demonstrating the huge potential for professional diver's wristwatches..The Turn-O-Graph model reference 6202 (see lot 160 in this auction) was chosen to serve as the base for further development of Rolex's ambition to manufacture a commercial diver's wristwatch. In 1953, Rolex set the base of an unequalled success story with the launch of the Submariner concept, officially introduced at the 1954 Basle Fair. Originally promoted as the diver's friend, the Submariner became soon the world's most legendary tool watch and, generations later, is still enjoying wide popularity in its actual version..Since its introduction until the present day the development of the Submariner clearly demonstrates Rolex philosophy of updating their models as innovations occur. Always seeking perfection, Rolex is one of the world's leading brands when it comes to patents obtained for the numerous innovations and technologies, notably the Submariner's unidirectional bezel designed for safe immersion time tracking..True to one of the firm's motto An Obsession with Perfection, the Submariner's history of development shows how the model progressed on its journey to excellence. Each model has distinctive characteristics in regard to the movement, case, bezel and dial layout and was attributed its personal reference number right from the beginning..The following listing summarizes the years of introduction and characteristics of the different models offered in this collection.
