ROLEX, REF. 116619LB, SUBMARINER, “SMURF”, A VERY FINE 18K WHITE GOLD WRISTWATCH WITH DATE

In conjunction with the 100th anniversary of Rolex printing its registered name on the dial, the brand created a very special Submariner model. They utilized the collector favorite color, blue, on the dial and Cerachrom bezel leading to its moniker, the “Smurf.” The all-blue sports watch aesthetic is almost exclusively offered in only precious metal watches, such as the present lot consisting of an 18k white gold case and bracelet. The glossy blue dial and ceramic bezel have a deep, vibrant quality and pair well the luster of the precious metal. Although gold, Reference 116619LB maintains a depth rating of 300 meters and has an impressive weight to the watch.
