2007 Rolex Submariner Ref. 16613LN ‘Unpolished’ with Box and Papers

$10,100.00

The Submariner reference 16613 occupied the two-tone tier of Rolex’s dive watch lineup from 1988 to 2010, pairing stainless steel with 18k yellow gold across case, bezel ring, and bracelet in a combination that divided opinion for decades before collectors quietly came around. The LN suffix denoted the black-bezelled variant, or ‘Lunette Noire’, replacing the earlier insert with a sharper, more legible alternative and giving the reference a more purposeful character that suited the steel and gold pairing better than its predecessor. By the mid-2000s the 16613LN had settled into its final, most refined iteration — a thoroughly modern tool watch with vintage aesthetics, wearing its precious metal with increasing confidence.

The black glossy dial on this 2007 example offered here is lovely, luminova plots and hands clean and vivid. The aluminum bezel insert is mint, the yellow gold bezel ring crisp. The stainless steel case is unpolished throughout — thick lugs, sharp edges, factory finishes intact — with normal signs of wear consistent with honest use over nearly two decades. The sapphire crystal is clean. The original 93253 Oyster bracelet in steel and yellow gold is fully linked, deployant clasp coded E08, minimal stretch and normal wear. It comes as an original owner full set: inner box, guarantee manual, card holder, and guarantee card showing sale in Spain in 2007 — a clean, unbroken provenance trail from new.

Unpolished, complete, and accounted for from day one.
