Backed by more than a hundred years of history, Rolex is easily the most recognizable and celebrated watch manufacturer in the world. What’s more, its timeless Submariner is one of, if not the most iconic design ever conceived in watchmaking. Introduced in 1953, it was the first wristwatch waterproof to a depth of 100 meters (330 feet), and – as any knowledgeable enthusiasts would confirm – it has since served as a benchmark among diver’s wristwatches.
The watch on offer here is a rather exclusive version of the iconic model. The 116613LB combines the robustness of stainless steel with the energetic luster of 18k yellow gold. The thicker lugs and crown guards seen on this modern version do indeed add to the Sub’s wrist presence. What’s more, the Cerachrome inserts of the bezel just looks stunning. The early example here dates to 2010 (G Serial number) and features the “flat-blue” dial without sunburst.
The Rolex Submariner Date ref. 116613LB is powered by the in-house caliber 3135 – a 31-jewel high-beat automatic movement that boasts a power reserve of 48 hours, as well as a reputation of infallible reliability.
The watch on offer here is in superb condition – just polished per OEM specs and ticking per specs. Comes with its original box, but – regrettably no papers.
The watch is covered by 1 year of limited warranty.
The cover of said warranty is limited to the function, continuous operation and fair timekeeping and it does not cover misuse, neglect, abuse, water damage or any other form of wearer-inflicted damage.
