RolexSubmariner

Offered by a private collector who purchased it new from a UK authorised dealer, this Rolex Submariner Date ref. 126613LB is accompanied by the display box, outer box, warranty card, sleeve, booklets and swing tags. The vendor advises the watch is brand new and unworn, and the images show factory protective stickers on the bracelet end-links. Its overall condition appears within their ‘AAA’ grading. Rolex’s five-year international warranty provides cover until 2027.  

The ref. 126613LB is part of Rolex’s latest generation of Submariners. The case profile has changed slightly with a small increase to a 41mm diameter, and the lugs have been slimmed down. Coupled with a slightly wider bracelet, the watch has a more seamless aesthetic than the previous generation. With its two-tone construction and striking electric blue dial, this ‘Bluesy’ is both a recognisable and desirable specification for this iconic watch. The bezel, crown and bracelet centre links are all constructed from 18K yellow gold.  

Despite its transition from a tool watch to a luxury accessory, the Submariner maintains its utility and robustness, with 300m waterproofness and a scratch-resistant ceramic dive bezel.  

Attached to the case is a steel Oyster bracelet with polished 18K gold centre links. The clasp incorporates a ‘Glidelock’ extension system- providing the wearer with 20mm of tool-free adjustment.  

The watch is powered by Rolex’s latest generation 3235 calibre. This automatic movement is chronometer-certified and tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day. The power reserve is rated at 70 hours.  

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.
