A pre-owned Rolex Submariner Smurf combines white-gold prestige with everyday wearability, while buying second hand offers access to a discontinued reference (2008–2020) no longer available new, potential value preservation driven by limited supply and strong collector demand, a choice of condition from carefully worn examples to full-set pieces, immediate availability without boutique waitlists, and clear UK buyer advantages including transparent VAT treatment and in-person viewing at our London showroom.
Pre-owned Rolex Smurf pricing varies by specification and provenance. Key drivers include:
Launched in 2008, the Rolex Submariner 116619LB represented a defining moment in the evolution of the Submariner line, becoming the first reference to be crafted entirely from solid 18ct white gold. Until then, the Submariner had been synonymous with stainless steel and tool-watch functionality, making Rolex’s decision to introduce a full precious-metal variant both bold and transformative. The white gold case and Oyster bracelet were paired with a striking sunburst blue dial and matching blue Cerachrom bezel insert, creating a dramatic monochromatic aesthetic that stood apart from traditional Submariner colourways while remaining unmistakably Rolex.
This distinctive blue-on-blue combination quickly earned the affectionate nickname “Smurf” among collectors, a playful reference that has since become firmly embedded in Rolex collecting culture. Produced from 2008 until its discontinuation in 2020, the 116619LB is prized for seamlessly blending luxury and performance. Despite its precious-metal construction and substantial wrist presence, it retains the Submariner’s legendary robustness, featuring a 40mm case, 300-metre water resistance, a Triplock screw-down crown, and Rolex’s in-house automatic calibre for reliable everyday wear.
Today, the Rolex Submariner Smurf is widely regarded as a modern icon within the Submariner family. Its vivid blue aesthetic, combined with the discreet prestige of white gold, gives it a unique dual character - outwardly sporty yet inherently luxurious. With production now ceased and demand from collectors remaining strong, the 116619LB continues to be highly sought after as both a wearable statement piece and a significant chapter in Rolex’s modern watchmaking history.
