The here offered Rolex Submariner 16 613 is the perfect timepiece that marries the robust functionality of a dive watch with the opulent charm of a “Sultan” dial. The Submariner series has long been celebrated for its underwater prowess, and the 16 613 takes this legacy to a new level of sophistication, making a bold statement on the wrists of those who appreciate the intersection of luxury and adventure. The first thing that captivates the eye is the Sultan dial, a rare and distinctive feature that sets the Rolex Submariner 16 613 apart from its counterparts. The regal silver hue of the dial creates a harmonious connection with the golden accents of the hour markers and hands and is further elevated by the diamonds and sapphire set indexes. Crafted from Rolex’s signature Rolesor, a combination of stainless steel and 18-karat yellow gold, the 40 mm case of the reference 16 613 exudes a perfect balance between strength and luxury. Very nicely preserved with still the original box and papers, the watch has a solid Oyster bracelet and the iconic unidirectional rotatable bezel, a hallmark of the Submariner series, boasting a blue and gold color scheme. With its timeless design, impeccable craftsmanship, and a nod to luxury with the Sultan dial, the present Submariner 16 613 reigns supreme as a symbol of prestige in the world of horology.
