SUMMARY

Recently discontinued, this steel and gold Submariner ref. 116613LB features a bright blue sunburst dial and blue “Cerachrom” bezel insert. The 40mm “super case” has more presence than its stated dimensions would suggest thanks to the wide and squared off lug profile.

Large hands and indices made of yellow gold are applied to the dial and filled with Rolex’s proprietary “Chromalight” luminescence. Attached to the case is an Oyster bracelet with polished gold centre links and an Oysterlock clasp. The built-in Glidelock extension system provides the wearer with 15mm of tool-free adjustment. Housed underneath the screw-down case back is the calibre 3135 movement, which features a 48-hour power reserve, COSC certification, and is tested after casing by Rolex to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.

Any watch not covered by a current sales or service warranty should be considered as potentially requiring a service, even if in full working order on the date of purchase.
