Within the Rolex country coding system, code 904 was strictly reserved to identify timepieces officially allocated and shipped to the US Military Post Exchange and Navy Exchange networks (PX/NEX).This certificate features an indisputable dual-authentication: the factory-punched "904" code alongside the watch's unique serial number, perfectly complemented by the period violet ink stamp from the official retail point of the US Naval Air Station: Navy Exchange N.S. Rota (Spain).Sold on February 9, 1987, this timekeeper beautifully bridges Cold War military history with haute horology. The outstanding completeness of the original accessories—including the period-correct fitted box, Submariner booklet, original 300m/1000ft depth anchor, and the highly elusive original hang tag—confirms this lot's status as a museum-grade "Full Set" of an integrity that has become virtually impossible to find on today's vintage market.
