Rolex Submariner 16613 b&p

The Submariner 16613 Blue is the reference that turned the two-tone dive watch from an indulgence into a category of its own. Introduced in the late 1980s, it became the aspirational crossover piece—luxury presence with true tool-watch DNA. Your 2004 Y-serial example sits in the final and most desirable production phase: SEL bracelet, lug-hole case, and the unmistakable sunburst blue dial that defined an era. This configuration is now aggressively collected because it bridges vintage charm with modern robustness.

The piece you’re offering is tight: box and papers, full links, great overall condition. That combination matters—buyers of two-tone want shine without abuse, and this one delivers exactly that. The blue dial with gold accents is the punchline; it’s the element that made the 16613 iconic and still keeps demand high, especially for clean, unpolished or lightly worn examples.

Technically, it remains a Submariner at heart: 300m depth rating, the cal. 3135 with its proven reliability, and the unmistakable heft of steel and 18k gold. If someone wants the definitive two-tone Submariner—pre-ceramic, character-rich, complete set—this is the reference, and this is the configuration that moves fast when it’s in top shape.
