2010 Rolex Submariner “Bluesy” 40mm Ref. 116613LB Two-Tone Flat Blue Dial

Description

This 2010 Rolex Submariner reference 116613LB earns its “Bluesy” nickname from the flat, deep blue lacquer dial that sits in striking contrast to the two-tone Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold case and bracelet construction. The 40mm case is paired with a matching blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert, giving the watch a cohesive, richly saturated color palette that photographs beautifully and wears just as strikingly in person. Gold hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, filled with luminous material, stand out crisply against the dark blue backdrop, while the date window at three o’clock includes the traditional cyclops lens for easy reading. The movement inside is Rolex’s automatic caliber 3135, a proven workhorse known for its long-term reliability and relatively straightforward serviceability, backed by decades of use across the broader Submariner and Datejust families. The Oyster bracelet features solid 18k gold center links, adding weight and shine to complement the case, and is fitted with a folding Oysterlock safety clasp. This particular example presents with strong color saturation in the dial and bezel and minimal wear to the gold surfaces. As with all watches we offer, this Submariner passed a full in-house authentication process prior to listing and is backed by our standard authenticity guarantee, along with complimentary insured overnight shipping. A vibrant, distinctive alternative to the standard black-dial Submariner for collectors seeking something with more visual character.
