The Rolex Submariner is the most iconic dive watch in the world and arguably the most recognizable timepiece ever made. Over the years, it has evolved to include various sizes, date and no-date configurations, and a range of materials for its case, bracelet, and bezel. It has seamlessly balanced its reputation as a rugged, dependable tool watch with its status as a symbol of luxury.
The reference 126619LB is the second white-gold Submariner Date to feature a blue Cerachrom bezel, succeeding the ref. 116619, known as the "Smurf." While the Smurf’s matching blue dial immediately signaled its opulent white-gold construction, the watch presented here—nicknamed the "Cookie Monster"—retains a stronger tool-watch aesthetic with its more understated black dial. Housed in a 41 mm case, we are pleased to offer this 2023-dated example, complete with its full set of original accessories.
