2020 Rolex Submariner 40mm Ref. 116659SABR White Gold Blue Dial

Description

The Rolex Submariner Ref. 116659SABR sits at the pinnacle of the model line, combining 18k white gold construction with a factory-set diamond and sapphire bezel, making it one of the most opulent dive watches Rolex has ever produced. This 2020 example pairs a rich blue lacquer dial with a bezel insert paved in brilliant-cut diamonds and calibrated blue sapphires along the timing scale, delivering a jewelry-like presentation while retaining full Submariner functionality. The 40mm white gold case offers a bright, cool-toned finish that intensifies the sparkle of the gemstone bezel, while Chromalight luminescent hour markers preserve underwater legibility despite the watch’s dressier orientation. Beneath the dial, the caliber 3135 automatic movement provides dependable timekeeping accuracy, backed by Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification. Despite its extravagant gem-setting, the piece maintains genuine 300-meter water resistance and the unidirectional rotating bezel expected of a true dive tool. The solid white gold Oyster bracelet completes the look with the same high polish as the case, finished with a concealed Crownclasp for a seamless bracelet line. Reserved for collectors seeking maximum exclusivity, this reference merges elite gem-setting artistry with the enduring engineering DNA of the world’s most iconic diver’s watch.
