The Rolex Submariner Date 116610 'Artisans De Genève For John "Lefty" McEnroe' is a masterpiece that combines exceptional craftsmanship with a unique design inspired by the legendary tennis player. Limited to just 30 pieces, this timepiece pays homage to John McEnroe's iconic style and playing preferences.
The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case and bracelet, providing durability and a sporty aesthetic. The skeletonized black dial showcases Luminova index markers for visibility in various lighting conditions. The unidirectional steel bezel with a tungsten insert adds a touch of elegance and functionality.
A notable modification is the repositioning of the crown to the left side, allowing John McEnroe, famously known as "Lefty," to wear the watch comfortably during matches.
The movement is a modified 3135 Caliber, meticulously skeletonized and beveled by hand. The tungsten rotor is engraved with "John McEnroe," adding a personalized touch. The date disc is crafted from sapphire, and luminescent material under the date window ensures precise time reading in the dark.
The watch's engineering is a work of art, requiring hundreds of hours of precise craftsmanship to maintain the technical and functional features of the original while offering a unique aesthetic. The handmade balance bridge, extra-fine and flat-polished, contributes to the watch's overall elegance.
This limited edition timepiece is not only a tribute to a tennis legend but also a statement of exceptional watchmaking skills from Rolex and creativity by Artisans De Genève.
