In 2008, Rolex introduced a new generation of Submariner watches, beginning with two full gold references: the yellow gold Ref. 116618, and for the first time in the model’s history, a white gold version, Ref. 116619.
Thanks to its striking combination of a solid white gold case and bracelet paired with a vibrant blue dial and bezel, the Ref. 116619LB quickly earned the nickname "Smurf" within the Rolex collecting community. A bold evolution of the classic diver, it offered both technical robustness and elevated luxury.
This exceptional example is offered in beautiful condition, with well-preserved factory stickers, appealing to both collectors and enthusiasts alike.
