Description

Offered for sale is a Rolex Submariner Date reference 116613LB featuring the highly desirable Flat Blue Dial configuration. This early ceramic-era “Bluesy” combines Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold construction with Rolex’s iconic blue Cerachrom bezel, creating one of the most recognizable luxury sports watches ever produced.

Collector Notes
