Today we’re looking at one of the most distinctive two-tone Submariners ever made — the Rolex Submariner Date 16613 with the Silver Serti dial.

The term “Serti” comes from the French word sertissage, meaning “setting stones.” And on this model, Rolex did exactly that. The dial features factory-set diamonds at the cardinal points and sapphires marking the rest of the major hours, all sitting on a sunburst silver base that plays with light beautifully. It’s a look that immediately separates it from the standard blue or black variants of the era.

The watch comes in the classic Rolesor combination — stainless steel paired with 18k yellow gold on the bezel, crown, and center links. It holds the traditional 40mm Submariner case, running on the Calibre 3135, a movement known for its reliability, durability, and long service history.

What makes the Silver Serti 16613 interesting is its place in Submariner history. During a period when the Submariner was known primarily as a tool watch, Rolex wasn’t afraid to experiment with more luxurious configurations. The Serti dials became symbols of that era — where sport and elegance started blending in the modern Rolex lineup.

Collectors appreciate this version not just for the gemstones, but for its unique personality. It’s unmistakably a Submariner, yet visually far more refined than the usual references. A piece that stands out quietly without trying to be loud.
