About This Watch
The Rolex Submariner Date 126618LN in full 18-karat yellow gold represents the pinnacle of luxury within the Submariner family. Weighing noticeably more than its steel counterpart, the solid gold case and bracelet give this watch a substantial and unmistakably premium feel on the wrist. The warm yellow gold is paired with a classic black dial and matching black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, creating a combination that manages to be both bold and refined. Every component that is steel on the standard model is gold here: the case, crown, crown guards, bracelet links, and even the Oysterlock clasp. Rolex casts and machines each gold bracelet component in-house at their foundry in Plan-les-Ouates. Despite its precious metal construction, this Submariner remains a fully functional dive watch rated to 300 meters. The caliber 3235 inside delivers a 70-hour power reserve with superlative chronometer precision. The gold Submariner has a long and storied history dating back to the ref. 1680 in the 1970s, and it has always been a favorite among collectors who appreciate the audacity of building a gold dive watch. It is a true luxury statement that never compromises on performance.
