The Watch
Well, this is not your average two-tone Rolex Submariner 16613. This configuration is better known as the SERTI Submariner or sometimes simply called ‘The Sultan’ due to the diamonds and sapphires on the dial. The name SERTI is derived from the French language and means as much as “setting” In the past this word was used by Rolex for all watch-dials that we’re fitted with precious stones. Nowadays, the Serti dial like the one on our Submariner is no longer available, it is to be believed that the last Serti dial Submariners were produced in 2008, the same year the new and ceramic bezeled 116613LB Submariner was introduced to the market.
