About the Rolex Submariner Date "Bluesy" – Ref. 16613 (Steel & Gold / Blue Dial / 40mm):
The Rolex Submariner ref. 16613 is better known among collectors as the legendary “Bluesy,” a nickname earned from its vibrant blue dial and matching blue bezel paired with Rolex’s iconic steel and yellow gold Rolesor construction. Introduced in the late 1980s, the reference brought a more luxurious character to the Submariner while retaining the robust functionality that made it one of the world's most recognizable dive watches.
This example from approximately 1997 features a Luminova dial and handset, a unidirectional timing bezel, 300 meters of water resistance, and the dependable Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement. Combining everyday versatility with unmistakable wrist presence, the 16613 remains one of the most sought-after modern-vintage Submariner references.
