Rolex Submariner 16613 - 1999

Rolex Submariner 16613 - 1999 - Two-Tone - Box & Papers
 
A classic icon in its purest form, this 1999 Rolex Submariner Ref. 16613 blends rugged functionality with elegant luxury. Featuring the sought-after steel and 18k yellow gold Oyster case and bracelet, this Submariner is powered by the reliable Caliber 3135 automatic movement and retains all the vintage charm collectors love — including the aluminum bezel insert and original glossy dial with luminous hour markers.
 
This piece comes complete with its original Rolex box, papers, and matching serial number between the lugs, adding significant collectible value. During a Rolex-authorized service in 2009, the crystal was upgraded to include the modern laser-etched crown, maintaining authenticity while benefiting from Rolex’s evolving standards.
 
Condition:
The watch remains unpolished, preserving the original factory lines — and while a professional polish is possible, many collectors prefer it in this untouched state. It exhibits typical surface marks from wear, consistent with age. There is a small mark on the bezel near the 12 o’clock position, visible under close inspection.
