The Rolex Submariner ref. 16613 represents one of the most recognisable and successful evolutions of the Submariner line. Combining Rolex’s legendary tool watch DNA with precious metals, the blue dial and bezel variant has become an icon in its own right.
This example dates to 2000 and features the classic combination of a sunburst blue dial, matching blue bezel insert, and solid yellow gold accents, creating a watch that is instantly recognisable on the wrist. It is powered by the Rolex calibre 3135, one of the most respected automatic movements ever produced, known for its reliability, longevity, and ease of servicing.
Offered here with box and original papers, this is a highly desirable configuration that sits firmly in the sweet spot between vintage charm and modern usability.

A Word on Condition
The watch presents very well overall, with a clean case, strong dial colour, and a vibrant blue bezel insert. The two tone Oyster bracelet is in excellent condition, retaining its solid feel on the wrist and benefiting from Rolex’s later solid end link construction, which significantly improves wearability and durability compared to earlier bracelets.
The dial and hands are crisp, with the gold accents providing excellent contrast against the deep blue dial, one of the reasons this reference remains so visually striking.
