The yellow Rolesor Submariner in its current 41mm generation — blue Cerachrom bezel, Cal. 3235, papers present, like-new condition.
The 126613LB-0002 is Rolex's current-generation two-tone Submariner Date, pairing an Oystersteel case with 18k yellow gold bezel, crown guards, and center bracelet links — the combination Rolex calls Yellow Rolesor. At 41mm, the case is one millimeter wider than the 116613LB it replaced in 2020, and it rides on a matching Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock folding clasp and Glidelock extension system. Water resistance is rated to 300 meters. The sunray-brushed blue dial carries applied yellow-gold hour markers, a date aperture at three o'clock, and Chromalight luminous plots beneath a sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens.
This is a 2021 production piece offered in like-new condition. Papers are present; the original box is not. Papers-without-box is a routine secondary-market configuration — the warranty card and accompanying documentation are the more consequential half of a set for establishing production year and verifying reference authenticity.
The 60-minute unidirectional bezel uses Rolex's Cerachrom ceramic insert, which resists scratching under normal wear and is immune to UV fading — a clear advance over the aluminum inserts used on Submariner generations predating 2008. The graduated diving scale is engraved directly into the ceramic and filled with platinum-toned PVD lacquer, coordinating with the steel elements on the dial.
Inside sits the caliber 3235, introduced across the current Submariner lineup in 2020. Headline improvements over the outgoing 3135 include a 70-hour power reserve (up from roughly 48 hours), the Chronergy escapement for greater energy efficiency, and a Parachrom hairspring for resistance to magnetic fields and shock. The movement carries Rolex's Superlative Chronometer certification, rated to ±2 seconds per day in five positions after casing.
Two-tone Submariners have commanded a consistent premium over full-steel references for decades, and the blue-dial, blue-bezel combination on yellow gold — collector shorthand: the Bluesy — is the most recognized configuration in the lineup. The 126613LB held its secondary-market standing through the broader grey-market correction that followed the 2021–2022 peak, and it continues to trade well above the steel 126610 variants while occupying a distinct tier from the fully precious-metal Submariner references.
The -0002 suffix in Rolex's current cataloguing system identifies the specific dial, bezel, and bracelet combination. Having the full reference on hand is useful when cross-referencing comparable listings and confirming that the described specification matches the physical piece.
This example is offered through My Watch Dealer, an independent reseller — not an authorized Rolex retailer. The like-new condition grade indicates minimal to no visible wear on the case, crystal, or bracelet. Before purchasing, buyers should request detailed images of the Oysterlock clasp and bracelet end-links, which are the first surfaces to show micro-polish or stretch on a used Oyster. Papers are present, allowing the production year and reference to be independently verified.
The absence of the original box is a known variable and does not affect the movement, condition, or wearability of the piece. For a reference that authorized retailers distribute by allocation, the secondary market is the standard route to ownership, and a like-new example with papers represents the stronger end of what that market reliably offers.
