The two-tone 16613 came with blue or black dials, including sunburst “serti” versions set with sapphires and diamonds. It is one of the most affordable gold Submariners on the market.
Who it’s for
Buyers who want the definitive luxury dive watch, and anyone who values strong resale.
Buying tips
- Check the bezel action, the rehaut engraving (on later models) and the serial number against the papers.
- Aftermarket bezel inserts, dials and polished cases lower value. Original parts matter.
- Counterfeit Submariners are very common. Buy with a strong return policy or an authentication guarantee.
