Rolex Submariner 16613 Stainless Steel Yellow Gold Serti Slate Diamond Sapphire Dial

The Rolex Submariner Ref. 16613 in stainless steel and yellow gold with a slate Serti dial represents one of the most distinctive and luxurious interpretations of the Submariner design. Its two-tone construction—stainless-steel case and bracelet flanked by yellow-gold center links, crown, and bezel ring—strikes a balance between durability and refined presence. At 40mm, it maintains the classic Submariner proportions: robust enough for sporty use, yet streamlined enough to transition seamlessly into more elegant settings. The blue bezel insert, framed by yellow gold, grounds the design in the Submariner’s nautical roots while adding color contrast that pairs beautifully with the richer tones of the dial.

The slate Serti dial elevates this model into unmistakably luxurious territory. The cool grey background provides a subtle, smoky foundation for the gem-set hour markers—factory diamonds and sapphires positioned in classic Submariner layout. The contrast of these stones against the slate surface creates depth and dimension, giving the watch a distinct identity that feels both opulent and purposeful. The date aperture at 3 o’clock with Cyclops magnification maintains functional clarity, while the Mercedes hands and luminous markers ensure the watch retains its tool-watch legibility despite its jewel-forward execution.

Powered by an automatic movement known for reliability and smooth performance, this Submariner remains true to Rolex’s commitment to precision and everyday usability. The two-tone Oyster bracelet—with brushed steel outer links and polished yellow-gold center links—completes the look, adding comfortable wearability and visual balance. For collectors, the Ref. 16613 with slate Serti dial and blue bezel offers an ideal intersection between sport heritage and luxury expression—an iconic Submariner silhouette enriched with gemstones, precious metal, and a colorway that stands apart in Rolex’s celebrated two-tone lineup.
