About This Reference

The Ref. 116618LB, often called the "Smurf" by collectors, is the all-18k yellow gold Submariner Date with striking blue dial and bezel, produced from 2008 to 2020. This bold model combines precious metal luxury with the distinctive blue color scheme that has become iconic in the Submariner lineup.

Key Characteristics:

  • 40mm Oyster case in solid 18k yellow gold
  • Blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert with engraved numerals
  • Blue sunburst dial (from 2013 onwards) with Chromalight display and gold hour markers
  • Caliber 3135 movement with 48-hour power reserve
  • Solid 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet with Glidelock extension system
  • Total weight: 225.4 grams

Technical Advances:

  • Virtually scratchproof ceramic bezel technology
  • Rich sunburst blue dial finish on later examples
  • Improved luminescence with Chromalight technology
  • Enhanced bracelet with micro-adjustment capabilities
  • Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with cyclops lens

Historical Significance: Introduced alongside the 116618LN at BaselWorld 2008, the 116618LB represented Rolex's bold approach to color in their professional line. The blue dial variant received the "sunburst" finish in 2013, adding depth and visual appeal. This reference is particularly prized by collectors for its striking appearance and all-gold construction.

Parts Availability: We stock genuine components for the 116618LB, including the distinctive blue ceramic bezel inserts, solid gold bracelet links, and sunburst blue dials. This reference is highly sought after for restoration and customization projects due to its unique aesthetic.
