Rolex Submariner Date 'Blue Dial' - Reference 126613LB (2025)

Heritage Narrative

Since its introduction in 1953, the Rolex Submariner has been the benchmark of professional dive watches, celebrated for its robust construction, unmistakable design, and enduring legacy. The two-tone Submariner, nicknamed the “Bluesy,” became an icon in its own right — pairing steel with 18k yellow gold and a vivid blue bezel and dial for a look that blends sport utility with luxury flair.

The current generation reference 126613LB, introduced in 2020, brought refined case proportions, a broader bracelet, and the upgraded calibre 3235 movement. The result is a watch that respects the Submariner’s tool-watch DNA while offering enhanced comfort and performance.

This July 2025 example, reference 126613LB, features a 41 mm Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold case, blue dial with Chromalight luminescence, and a unidirectional Cerachrom bezel insert in deep blue. Powered by the calibre 3235, it delivers a 70-hour power reserve and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification. Offered in mint condition with its full set of box and papers, it is a pristine modern take on one of Rolex’s most recognizable and desirable designs.
