Product detailed description

Rolex Submariner Date 126618LB

A more precious expression of the Submariner. The Ref. 126618LB brings the legendary dive watch into a full 18 ct yellow gold construction, pairing a vivid royal blue dial with a matching blue Cerachrom bezel. Its distinctive colour palette and precious-metal presence give the model a particularly sophisticated character without compromising its professional purpose.

Why choose this model?

The signature blue combination
The royal blue dial and blue Cerachrom bezel create the defining visual character of the 126618LB. The bezel’s 60-minute scale is designed for underwater timing, while the Chromalight display provides clear legibility in low-light conditions.

Submariner in precious metal
Crafted entirely in 18 ct yellow gold, the 126618LB represents the most luxurious interpretation of the contemporary Submariner. The polished and satin-brushed surfaces give the 41 mm Oyster case a rich yet purposeful presence.

Born from professional diving
The Submariner was introduced in 1953 as a purpose-built diving watch. The modern 126618LB retains the essential elements of that heritage, including the unidirectional bezel, Triplock winding crown and water resistance to 300 metres.

Modern Rolex mechanics
At its heart is calibre 3235, a self-winding mechanical movement offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The instantaneous date display is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with the characteristic Cyclops lens.

Collector and investment appeal
The Submariner has an established position among collectible Rolex sports watches, while the combination of full 18 ct yellow gold and the blue aesthetic gives the 126618LB a particularly recognisable identity. For collectors, its appeal lies not only in the precious-metal construction but also in its place within one of Rolex’s most enduring professional watch families.
