About the Submariner Date 16808
The Rolex Submariner Date 16808 is a reference in the Rolex Submariner collection. It is discontinued. From our catalog: a case in 18k yellow gold; movement: Calibre 3035. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.
What the sales say
Behind the headline sit 25 completed sales, 22 eBay sales and 3 auction results, gathered from November 2023 through September 2026. The busiest month in that list was January 2026, with 3 sales. Auction results here come from Antiquorum, Grailzee and Sotheby's. Its rating sits in the middle band, so allow for outliers when you hold an offer against the range. Its most recent sale came 27 days before this data run. A volatility label needs more sales in the last 90 days than it has. A fair price for the 16808 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
Twelve months on, the typical sale has gained about 22.7% against the year before. The record only reaches back to March 2024, short of the five years a long-run figure needs.
Our measured gap between a bare watch and a complete set is about 11% for this family, drawn from 84 sales without the paperwork. Of the 38 sales listed, 4 came as a full set, 3 as the watch alone and 3 with part of the set. Cheapest in the list: September 12, 2025, on eBay, set not stated, about 45% below the worth-about figure. Dearest: May 25, 2024, at Phillips, partial set, about 68% above the worth-about figure.
