AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
ROLEX SUBMARINER DATE REF. 16613 "BLUE TO PURPLE" – YEAR 1991
Splendid Rolex Submariner Date ref. 16613, produced in 1991, owned by a single owner since purchase.
The watch is presented in excellent condition, with the case, bezel, and bracelet perfectly preserved. The two-tone Oyster bracelet in steel and 18 kt yellow gold is particularly tight and free from the typical stretch found on contemporary pieces.
A particularly collectible element is the original blue dial, which over time has developed a rare and sought-after color shift toward purple ("purple dial"), a natural phenomenon that makes each piece unique and highly prized by vintage Rolex enthusiasts.
