NoteExtremely rare Submariner Rolesor 16803 with signed reference number 16613. Very likely that Rolex used a 16803 case with 3035 movement, 16800 Lid and "7" serial from old stock for the production of a 16613 watch. With the exception of the crystal every part on this watch is 100% Rolex and correspond to this model. This was confirmed by the Rolex Service Center in New York. They confirmed the oddity and disparity between the Ref. # and Serial # but at the same they confirmed its authenticity and said it was Rolex, a rare one, but ROLEX nonetheless.
