One of the rarest Submariners, special order for French Polynesia. The reference was produced from 1988 to 2010. 16610 was long considered the most accomplished and reliable of all Submariner models. Although the production period of 22 years is particularly long, our example is all the more surprising as it comes from the smallest series among the most produced references: the Submariner. Our watch comes from a set of 3 pieces that were delivered exclusively to French Polynesia. Limited edition and numbered 2/3 on the back, our piece bears a particularly rare and unlikely double signature on the dial: "Polynesian Directory". Only 3 examples were delivered with this dial configuration. The order was placed by Rolex in 1999 at the request of the official Rolex dealer in New Caledonia. The authorized dealer undertook not to sell these special models in mainland France. The Polynesian Directory, originally called opt (Office des Postes et Télécommunication), is the historic public operator of French Polynesia, responsible for postal, telecommunications and financial services. Founded in 1956, opt received its new name in 1999. Everything suggests that this version of the "Polynesian Directory" was invented to celebrate this new identity, synonymous with the transition to a new modernity. This model, which should never have left the island, is presented for the first time on public sale. An exchange of letters between Rolex and its current owner, in which these details are mentioned, is enclosed with the watch and will be given to the future owner. According to the information provided by Rolex and our research, this watch appears to have had only two owners since its launch. Its original owner acquired it in the early 2000s in French Polynesia. He is employed by an airline that operates between Paris and Papeete and is a regular visitor to Paris. The watch was quickly resold to a Parisian dealer, who himself resold it to one of his customers in the early 2000s. This Submariner has since been carefully preserved and maintained by its current owner. This example is particularly interesting for any collector of the brand, knowing how rare limited and numbered series are throughout Rolex production. Apart from special orders for elite military corps, Rolex has produced certain special series for legendary institutions or companies, but never a special order with numbering. If in the entire history of Rolex production, the only reference issued in a limited and numbered series is the 5100 named "Texano", our example is a true collector's item as it is the smallest series developed in the entire Submariner 16610 production. - Payment methods: prepayment, real-time bank transfer or cash on collection.
