Overview
The Rolex Submariner Date reference 126613LB pairs a 41 mm Oyster case in Oystersteel and 18 ct yellow gold with a striking royal-blue dial and bezel insert. Introduced in 2020 as part of a comprehensive generational update to the Submariner line, it carries the in-house Calibre 3235 movement. The two-tone configuration — long associated with the Submariner's most recognisable aesthetic — here reaches a new level of refinement.
History
Rolex refreshed the entire Submariner family in 2020, enlarging the case diameter from 40 mm to 41 mm and simultaneously introducing the Calibre 3235 across the line. The 126613LB is the direct successor to the reference 116613LB, inheriting its two-tone Oystersteel and yellow-gold identity while gaining the wider case, a redesigned crown-guard profile, and the more advanced movement. Among collectors, the two-tone Submariner Date in blue has historically been one of the most sought-after configurations in the entire Submariner catalogue.
