Rolex 116659SABR Submariner Date 18K White Gold Sapphire / Diamond Dial

This Rolex Submariner Date ref. 116659SABR is a rare and opulent interpretation of the iconic Submariner, introduced circa 2018. Crafted in solid 18K white gold, the 40 mm Oyster case is lavishly adorned with a bezel set in alternating baguette-cut sapphires and diamonds, while the lugs and crown guards are also richly gem‑set. Powered by Rolex’s robust Caliber 3235 (or 3135 in earlier iterations), the movement delivers approximately 48 hours of power reserve and Superlative Chronometer precision. With its deep 300 m water resistance and classic Submariner functionality—hours, minutes, seconds, and date—it remains fully capable as a professional dive watch despite its haute‑joaillerie embellishments. The sunburst blue dial, luminous white‑gold markers, and Mercedes hands ensure legibility, while the gem‑set aesthetic elevates its presence on the wrist. The bracelet features a unique 18K white gold and pave diamond bracelet. Produced in very limited numbers, this reference is not catalogued in standard Rolex collections, making it a highly coveted piece among collectors seeking both technical excellence and rarity.
