2008 Rolex Submariner 40mm Ref. 16613LN Two-Tone Black Dial

Description

This 2008 Rolex Submariner reference 16613LN combines the rugged 40mm Oystersteel Submariner case with an 18k yellow gold bezel and center bracelet links, giving it a distinctive two-tone presence that stands apart from the all-steel versions of this dive watch. The glossy black dial pairs with a matching black Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, a material Rolex introduced for its exceptional scratch resistance and long-term color stability compared to the aluminum inserts used on earlier references. Luminous round hour markers and Mercedes-style hands are trimmed in gold to coordinate with the case accents, while the date window at three o’clock is fitted with a cyclops lens for quick at-a-glance reading. Inside is Rolex’s automatic caliber 3135 movement, a workhorse movement known among watchmakers for its exceptional reliability and ease of long-term servicing. The Oyster bracelet’s center links are solid 18k gold, adding presence on the wrist along with a secure folding Oysterlock clasp. This particular example is in excellent all-around condition, with a bright, unfaded ceramic bezel and gold links free of deep scratching. Every watch we list is inspected and authenticated in-house before sale, and this Submariner arrives with our standard authenticity guarantee and complimentary insured overnight shipping. A great option for collectors who want the toughness of a Submariner with a touch of gold refinement.
