Rolex Submariner Date Reference 116619LB (White Gold)

This is a high-luxury diver's wristwatch, commonly known among collectors as the 'Smurf' due to its distinctive color palette. The timepiece features a 40mm solid 18k white gold case with a corresponding three-link Oyster bracelet. The dial is a vibrant, flat blue featuring 'Maxi' markers with white gold surrounds and luminescent filling. Above the dial is a unidirectional rotating bezel with a matching blue Cerachrom ceramic insert featuring 60-minute graduations coated in platinum. Notable features include the Cyclops magnification lens over the date aperture at 3 o'clock and the iconic Mercedes-style hands. The dial text includes 'ROLEX OYSTER PERPETUAL DATE', 'SUBMARINER', and certifications of depth rating (1000ft=300m) and chronometer status. The condition appears to be used but well-maintained, with minor hairline scratches visible on the polished lugs and bracelet consistent with regular wear. This model was produced starting around 2008 and reflects the transition to the 'Super Case' design with thicker lugs and crown guards. The craftsmanship is evident in the precise alignment of the bezel and the seamless integration of the sapphire crystal.
