Rolex Submariner Date | Two-Tone | Blue Dial and Bezel | Ref 16613 | W Serial I

The Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16613 is one of the most recognizable two-tone Rolex sports watches ever made. Featuring a 40mm stainless steel and 18K yellow gold case, blue dial, and matching blue bezel, this configuration is widely known as the “Bluesy” and has become one of the most iconic Submariner looks. The 16613 was offered with either blue or black bezel/dial configurations, with the blue version often referred to as 16613LB.

This W Serial example dates to circa 1995, placing it in the desirable five-digit Submariner era. The blue dial gives the watch its signature personality, shifting beautifully in different lighting while pairing naturally with the yellow gold center links and bezel accents. It has the feel of a true luxury sports watch—strong enough for daily wear, but elevated enough to stand out.
