About This Watch
The Rolex Submariner Date ref. 16613, affectionately known as the "Bluesy", is one of the most iconic two-tone sports watches ever produced. Introduced during the golden era of Rolex tool watches, the 16613 perfectly balances the robustness of the Submariner with the warmth and elegance of 18k yellow gold. More than three decades after its production, it remains one of the most recognizable and enduring references in the Rolex catalogue.
Its vibrant sunburst blue dial and matching aluminium bezel have become synonymous with the "Bluesy" nickname, offering a distinctive character that continues to captivate collectors. Unlike modern ceramic references, the aluminium bezel and tritium-era design cues give this reference an unmistakable vintage charm, while the slimmer case profile provides the classic proportions that enthusiasts continue to appreciate. Beautifully preserved for a 1991 example, this watch is a testament to the timeless appeal of Rolex's neo-vintage era.
40mm Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold case powered by the Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement, featuring a blue aluminium bezel insert, sapphire crystal with cyclops lens, Triplock screw-down crown, Oyster bracelet, and 300m water resistance, delivering the perfect blend of vintage character and everyday reliability.
