Since being replaced by the 116613 — hallmarked by its larger case and crown guards, and uniform maxi dial and hands — the Reference 16613 has joined other more modern expressions, like the Ref. 16800, as a sleeper collectible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNicknamed the \"Bluesy\" by collectors and enthusiasts, this two-tone Submariner is one of only a few two-tone Subs produced by Rolex, and sports a eye-catching blue iridescent dial, another rare trait among offerings from the Crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is in excellent condition and comes complete with its original inner and outer boxes, hang tag, warranty paperwork, passport wallet and instruction booklets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Rolex 16613 was released in circa 1988, coming on the heels of the release of the Ref. 16803, Rolex's first-ever two-tone Submariner model.  Where the 16803 enjoyed a short production run, the 16613 was produced for decades, likely owing to the popularity of the vibrant blue dial — a rarity among Rolex Submariners, even today.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16613 was replaced by the 116613 in the late aughts, a move which, for many, marked the end of the \"Submariner\" as we new it, due in no small part to the larger case with thicker lugs and crown guards.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubmariners from the 1980s and 90s haven't risen to the levels that their predecessors have, but for many this is a good thing; these 39mm-cased Subs still carry the feel of the classic Submariner while offering great weekend wearability. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12272153198679,"sku":null,"price":8700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Rolex_Subamriner_Fullkit_AS02700-6.jpg?v=1532730495","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/rolex-submariner-two-tone-as02700","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
