Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Submariner is the benchmark against which all dive watches are measured. Introduced in 1953, it was the first wristwatch guaranteed waterproof to 100 meters and has since evolved into one of the most recognizable and respected tool watches ever created.
The reference 126618LB represents the modern yellow gold interpretation of the Submariner Date, introduced as part of Rolex’s updated Submariner generation in 2020. With a slightly larger 41 mm case, refined proportions, and upgraded movement, this reference blends contemporary engineering with unmistakable presence.
This 2020 example features the iconic blue dial and matching blue Cerachrom bezel, a configuration long associated with Rolex’s precious metal Submariners. Crafted entirely in 18k yellow gold, the watch delivers significant wrist presence while maintaining the Submariner’s core identity as a professional dive instrument. Offered new and complete with its full set, this piece stands as a bold and luxurious expression of the world’s most famous dive watch.
