The Rolex Submariner reference 16618 represents one of the most luxurious interpretations of the manufacture's legendary diving watch. Crafted in 18K yellow gold and fitted with its matching Oyster bracelet, the present example features a blue bezel insert and an attractive "soleil" grey "Serti" dial. The term Serti derives from the French verb sertir, meaning "to set," referring to the gem set hour markers that distinguish these exceptional dials. Here, brilliant-cut diamond indexes are complemented by blue baguette cut sapphires at 6 and 9 o'clock, while a striking trillion cut blue sapphire marks 12 o'clock. Powered by Rolex's renowned automatic calibre 3135 and water resistant to 300 metres, the reference perfectly combines professional diving credentials with refined gem setting, making it one of the most charismatic and sought-after precious metal Submariners.
