Condition: Lightly Worn — Mint. This watch has been worn minimally and presents in exceptional, unpolished condition. No visible marks, scratches, or blemishes anywhere on the case, bezel, or bracelet. All factory brushed and polished surfaces — including the yellow gold components and blue ceramic bezel — are completely intact and original. The Oyster bracelet is tight with zero stretch. A ten-year-old watch that presents like it just left the boutique — a remarkable example of how well this generation holds up when properly cared for.
Why This Reference: The 116613LB is the discontinued predecessor to today's 126613LB — produced from 2009 to 2020 and replaced by the updated 41mm generation. What sets it apart: the classic 40mm case proportions preferred by many collectors, and most distinctively, gold-tone dial text rather than the white text found on the current 126613LB. That detail is immediately recognizable to anyone who knows the reference and gives the 116613LB a warmer, dressier aesthetic that the current generation simply doesn't offer. A 2016 full-set example in mint unpolished condition is exactly what serious Bluesy collectors are searching for — ten years old, closed production, gold dial text, and wearing like new. The Bluesy nickname has been attached to this two-tone blue configuration for more than 40 years across four generations of the reference — the 116613LB is the last of the classic-sized chapter.
