The Rolex Submariner 16618 was manufactured between 1988 and 2008 as an opulent variant of the World’s most popular divers’ watch. Despite its full yellow gold configuration, the model was tightly based on its stainless-steel counterpart, the reference 16610, using the same newly introduced calibre 3135 featuring a convenient hacking seconds function and quick date setting.

While the very vast majority of these pieces were fitted with a standard blue or black dial and matching bezel, a few pieces were adorned by a gem set dial nicknamed Sultan dial. This specimen is a rare example with a champagne dial alternating diamonds and sapphires, making this piece exceptional and collectible.
