The 16803 is a short-run reference with a long collector shadow. It is the first Rolesor (two-tone steel and gold) Submariner Date, and within the reference the version serious collectors pursue is the nipple dial, an applied-marker dial with a small raised dome at the centre of each gold hour index. The three-dimensional texture is visible in person and nearly invisible in average photography, which is why nipple-dial examples anchor the collector market for the reference while running underrepresented in online listings. | The 16803 is a short-run reference with a long collector shadow.
