Rolex Submariner Date 40mm Blue Dial 18K Yellow Gold 116618LB

The Rolex Submariner Date reference $116618LB$ is the discontinued, full $18kt$ $Yellow Gold$ version of the six-digit Submariner generation ( $2008-2020$ ) and is often affectionately nicknamed the “Solid Gold Bluesy.” This highly luxurious sports watch pairs the iconic $40mm$ $Submariner$ case with the striking combination of rich $18kt$ $Yellow Gold$ and a vibrant blue aesthetic. It is characterized by the $40mm$ “Super Case” design, featuring thicker lugs and wider crown guards than its predecessors, which gives it a powerful and substantial wrist presence befitting its precious metal construction.
