Rolex Bluesy

The Bluesy is the two-tone Submariner in steel and yellow gold with a matching blue dial and bezel, and few watches announce Rolex from across a room quite like it. It has anchored the Submariner lineup for decades as the reference that bridges sport and luxury outright. Our inventory spans the discontinued 40mm 116613LB and the current 41mm 126613LB, both of which hold value well thanks to constant demand. The blue sunburst dial shifts from navy to electric depending on light, which photographs never fully capture. Every example is authenticated in-house and ships fully insured.

The Rolex "Bluesy" is the collector nickname for the two-tone Submariner Date with a blue dial and blue bezel in Oystersteel and yellow gold "Rolesor." The current reference is the 41mm 126613LB (2020–present), preceded by the 40mm 116613LB (2009–2020) and the classic 16613 (1988–2009). The full yellow gold blue-dial Submariner, reference 126618LB, is often grouped under the same nickname.

Why the Bluesy matters

The Bluesy is the definitive two-tone sports Rolex, the steel-and-gold Submariner that turned the tool watch into a statement without going full precious metal. It has been in continuous production in one reference or another since the late 1980s, making clean earlier examples like the 16613 an accessible vintage-adjacent entry point, while the current 126613LB carries the caliber 3235 with a 70-hour power reserve behind its sunburst blue dial and Cerachrom bezel.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Rolex Bluesy?

The Bluesy is the two-tone steel and yellow gold Submariner Date with a blue dial and bezel: currently reference 126613LB, previously 116613LB and 16613.

Why is it called the Bluesy?

A simple contraction of "blue Submariner." The blue dial and bezel against two-tone gold made the name inevitable, and it's been in collector use for decades.

What's the difference between the 116613LB and 126613LB?

The 126613LB (2020) grew to 41mm with slimmer lugs, a wider bracelet, and the caliber 3235 with a 70-hour power reserve. The 116613LB is 40mm with the caliber 3135.

Is the gold on a Bluesy solid or plated?

Solid. Rolex Rolesor uses solid 18k yellow gold for the bezel, crown, and bracelet center links, and Rolex does not plate. The 126618LB takes it further with a full 18k gold case and bracelet.

Do your Bluesys come with box and papers?

Many do, and each listing specifies what's included. Every watch is authenticated by our in-house team regardless of accessories.
