Rolex 116659SABR Submariner: Blue Dial and Gem Details

The Rolex Submariner featured here pairs a blue dial with a bezel set in blue and white stones. The original record identifies it as reference 116659SABR in 18k white gold, with sapphire and diamond details. These photographs offer a closer view of its appearance.

A different look for the Submariner

The familiar luminous markers, date magnifier and Mercedes style hour hand remain easy to recognize. Around them, the jeweled bezel replaces the visual effect of a conventional numbered dive bezel. Diamond set lugs extend the decoration toward the bracelet.

Confirm the individual watch

For a jeweled watch, ask to see documentation supporting the reference and original configuration. Confirm whether the dial, bezel and case setting are factory supplied or altered, and review service history and any replacement parts. Photos alone cannot verify diamond grades, metal purity or factory origin.

Condition comes before assumptions

A model’s original water resistance rating is not a current pressure test. Seals, service condition and later work can affect an individual watch, so discuss water use with a qualified watchmaker first. Inspect the bracelet, clasp, crystal and stone settings as carefully as the dial.
