Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Submariner 16613 is the definitive two-tone diver’s watch — a perfect expression of sport and luxury. Introduced in the late 1980s and produced until 2009, this reference became one of the most iconic Submariner variants, beloved for its elegant balance between professional function and refined aesthetics.
This Z-serial example from 2007 represents the very last generation of the 16613 before the transition to the ceramic-bezel models. The 40 mm stainless steel Oyster case is accented by an 18k yellow gold bezel and vibrant blue aluminum insert, surrounding a sunburst blue dial with gold-trimmed luminous hour markers. Its combination of deep ocean hues and precious metal warmth creates an instantly recognizable look — timeless and unmistakably Rolex.
Powered by the Calibre 3135, a movement that became the backbone of Rolex’s professional range, this piece ensures both reliability and precision. Offered in unworn, mint condition, and complete with box, certificate, booklet, and tag, this Submariner embodies the last of the pre-ceramic era’s craftsmanship — a classic with enduring allure.
