Introduced in 2008 alongside its yellow gold counterpart, the Submariner ref. 116619LB in white gold quickly earned the nickname "Submariner Smurf" due to its vibrant blue bezel and dial set against a white gold case and bracelet. The Smurf was the first white gold Submariner wristwatch ever made by Rolex and it was in production for 12 years. Offered with its full set of accessories, this is an opportunity to acquire a beautiful discontinued model.
