Pre-owned Rolex Submariner ref 16613 (1996). Few Rolex nicknames are as well-known as the “Bluesy.” Collectors use the name to describe the blue dial and blue bezel two-tone Submariner models, including the ref. 16613 for sale here. The nickname comes from the watch’s bold all-blue color scheme paired with yellow gold accents, giving it a much flashier and more luxurious personality than the standard black Submariner. Over the years, the “Bluesy” became one of the most recognizable versions of the Submariner lineup and is especially popular among collectors who want a sport watch with a bit more presence on the wrist. The ref. 16613 also belongs to the final generation of two-tone Submariners to feature an aluminum bezel insert before Rolex transitioned the collection to ceramic. Because of that, it has a warmer and more traditional tool-watch aesthetic than newer references. The slimmer five-digit case proportions, glossy blue dial, and rich yellow gold details give the watch a very classic late-1990s Rolex aesthetic that many enthusiasts still prefer today.
