In 2008, Rolex launched a new generation of Submariner models, beginning with two full-gold references: the yellow gold Ref. 116618 and, for the first time in the Submariner’s history, a white gold version, Ref. 116619.
The Ref. 116619LB, distinguished by its solid white gold case and bracelet paired with a vivid blue dial and bezel, quickly became known as the “Smurf” among collectors. This model represents a bold evolution of the classic diver, combining Rolex’s renowned technical robustness with a heightened sense of luxury and presence.
