This model is a showcase of $Rolex$ ‘s in-house gem-setting artistry. It takes the $40mm$ $White Gold$ case (the “Smurf” generation) and covers it in precious stones, transforming the rugged dive watch into a statement piece of high horology. Notably, despite the lavish use of gems, it maintains the $300$ -meter water resistance expected of a professional Submariner.

Bezel: The unidirectional rotatable bezel is set with a gradient of baguette-cut sapphires and diamonds. The sapphires are arranged in a blue-to-white gradient to mimic the traditional blue timing scale and depth change markers of a dive bezel. A triangular-cut diamond marks the $12$ o’clock position (the zero marker).
Case: The lugs and crown guards are factory-set with brilliant-cut diamonds.
Dial Options: This reference was offered with two known dial configurations:– The Blue Sunburst Dial with the standard $Maxi$ lume plots in white gold surrounds.
– A highly sought-after Full Diamond Pave Dial, where the face is paved with brilliant-cut diamonds, often using sapphire baguettes for the hour markers.
