Rolex Submariner Date 16613 - Box & Paper plus CPO Card

The Rolex Submariner reference 16613, produced between 1988 and 2010, stands among the most emblematic two-tone Submariner references ever created, combining the robustness of Rolex’s professional dive watches with an unmistakably refined aesthetic. Part of the prestigious Rolesor collection, Rolex’s signature combination of stainless steel and 18K Yellow Gold, the reference 16613 perfectly embodies the balance between sportiness and elegance that has made it a timeless favorite among collectors worldwide.

One of the most captivating elements of this configuration is undoubtedly its so-called “Bicchierini” dial, a term affectionately used by Italian collectors to describe the applied hour markers framed in yellow gold and filled with luminous material. These distinctive markers add remarkable depth and character to the vibrant sunburst blue dial, whose tones elegantly shift from deep navy to brilliant cobalt depending on the light. The warm gold accents of the hands, indexes and dial printing further enhance the chromatic harmony, giving the watch a striking yet sophisticated presence on the wrist.

The watch is housed in the classic 40mm Oyster case and fitted with the iconic blue aluminum bezel insert with gold numerals, preserving the unmistakable charm of the pre-ceramic Submariner generation. Its proportions, warmth and vintage appeal make this reference particularly appreciated by enthusiasts seeking the perfect balance between neo-vintage collectability and everyday wearability.

Powering the watch is the celebrated Rolex Caliber 3135, one of the manufacture’s most reliable and enduring self-winding movements. COSC-certified and equipped with quickset date functionality, the caliber is renowned for its robustness, precision and ease of serviceability, qualities that have contributed to its legendary reputation among collectors and watchmakers alike.

Offered here is an excellent example dating to 1994, preserved in excellent overall condition with only light signs of wear consistent with careful use. The watch is accompanied by its original box, outer box, Original Warranty dated 1994, Booklets, Rolex Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Card dated May 2025, CPO seal tag, making it an especially and attractive example for the discerning collector.
