Introduced in the late 1980s, the Rolex Submariner Date reference 16613 is a quintessential example of the brand’s iconic two-tone design, combining stainless steel with 18k yellow gold. Featuring a vibrant blue dial and matching blue bezel insert, this model quickly became one of the most recognizable and sought-after Submariners of its time.
Collectors and enthusiasts often refer to this version as “Bluesy”, a nickname that highlights its distinctive color scheme. The rich blue tones of the dial and bezel contrast beautifully with the gold accents, giving the watch a bold yet elegant character. The term has become a fitting and memorable moniker for one of the most beloved Submariners ever produced.
