Rolex Submariner Date Smurf Blue Dial 18K White Gold 116619LB

The Rolex Submariner Date reference $116619LB$ is a discontinued and iconic luxury dive watch, produced from $2008$ to $2020$ . It holds a special place in $Rolex$ history as the first $Submariner$ ever made entirely of $18kt$ $White Gold$ , earning it the famous nickname the “Smurf” due to its stark glossy blue dial and matching blue $Cerachrom$ bezel. The $White Gold$ construction gives this $40mm$ watch a substantial, luxurious weight while maintaining the discreet look of a stainless steel watch, a quality often referred to as “stealth luxury.”

Key Features	The only white gold $Submariner$ made with a blue dial and $40mm$ case
Era/Generation	Six-digit reference ( $Cerachrom$ bezel and $Calibre 3135$ )

This model belongs to the six-digit Submariner generation, powered by the reliable $Rolex Calibre 3135$ movement, which offers a $48-hour$ power reserve. It features the notable “Super Case” design, characterized by thicker lugs and broader crown guards, which made the $40mm$ case wear larger on the wrist than its predecessors. The Smurf is particularly sought after by collectors because of its unique Glossy Blue Lacquer Dial (a solid color, unlike the sunburst on the yellow gold versions) and the fact that $Rolex$ replaced it with a new $41mm$ $White Gold Submariner$ ( $126619LB$ ) that features a black dial, making the blue-on-blue configuration exclusive to the discontinued “Smurf.”
