Rolex Submariner Date 16613LB

This Rolex Submariner Date gold blue 16613LB is one of the earliest Bluesy Submariners ever produced, offered here in honest, original condition with all the character collectors love.

This is not a safe queen - it’s a watch that’s been worn and enjoyed but crucially, the case shows no major dents, dings, or scratches and has never been overpolished. Everything remains strong, sharp, and authentic.

The standout feature is the tritium dial and hands, which are beautifully preserved with warm patina. Even more special, the dial has developed a rare purple hue, a trait seen only on the earliest 16803s and very early 16613s. In the sunlight, the blue dial and bezel absolutely pop against the steel and gold case and Oyster bracelet.

Supplied with the correct boxes, papers, booklets, and tags, this Submariner has just been tested, is running within COSC spec, and comes with a 12-month warranty.

A charismatic, early Rolex Submariner Date gold blue with real vintage appeal - increasingly hard to find and impossible to replicate.
