This 2001 Rolex Submariner Date ref. 16613 represents the quintessential early-2000s “Bluesy”—sunburst blue dial, aluminum blue bezel insert, and the iconic two-tone steel and 18K yellow gold profile. The P-serial places production firmly in 2001, aligning perfectly with the included punched warranty papers. The dial presents clean and vibrant, with warm gold surrounds and strong original lume. The case retains its factory geometry with crisp chamfers and no signs of machine polishing, preserving the sharp lines collectors look for.

Condition is very good throughout. The bezel insert shows minor, honest wear typical for a 24-year-old Submariner, while the case, bracelet, and clasp carry light surface wear consistent with age but remain completely unpolished. The Oyster bracelet retains original brushing and polished center links with secure tolerances. Mechanically, the watch is running properly and includes a documented Rolex Service Center card from August 2018—an important long-term reliability indicator.

This example is supported by a complete, period-correct package: double box set, punched warranty papers dated April 2001, 2018 RSC service card, Rolex card holder, Rolex organizer, Submariner booklet, “Your Rolex Oyster” booklet, green hang tag, Submariner anchor, 2001–2002 calendar card, and protective accessories. Sets this complete rarely appear—especially from the aluminum-era two-tone Submariner lineage.

A strong, investment-grade example of the classic 16613 traditional Rolex design, preserved factory finishing, and full provenance.
