	Early 116613 production included factory diamond-set Serti dials as a catalog option. Serti, from the French ''sertissage'' (gem-setting), is the factory diamond-indices dial Rolex also offered on earlier Rolesor references. Collector discussion places the end of the Serti option around 2013, alongside the sunburst dial change on the standard LB. Serti examples are the rarer factory configuration and a distinct collector target within the reference.		Early 116613 production included factory diamond-set Serti dials as a catalog option.

Collector discussion places the end of the Serti option around 2013, alongside the sunburst dial change on the standard LB. Serti examples are the rarer factory configuration and a distinct collector target within the reference. Antiquorum catalogued one at its Hong Kong sale in May 2020: a circa-2010 116613LN, case No. G778362, movement No. 2834Z250, with the black Serti diamond dial and the standard Fliplock-clasp Oyster bracelet.

	The 126613 moved to a 41mm case, thinner lugs, and caliber 3235. That left the 116613's blockier Super Case profile with a following of its own.		The 126613 moved to a 41mm case, thinner lugs, and caliber 3235. That left the 116613's blockier Super Case profile with a following of its own.

			== Auction record ==

			Bonhams sold a black-dial 116613LN at its London sale on 20 June 2012 for £7,500 including premium, case No. G55**, movement No. 5AC4, complete with box, outer card, and two spare links. A blue-dial 116613LB that Bonhams dates to circa 2008 — among the earlier documented examples of the reference — made £8,925 at a later London sale in November 2020, case No. V87, movement No. 3315**. At Antiquorum, a new-old-stock 116613LB originally sold in December 2017 made CHF 18,750 at the house's Geneva sale in November 2022, case No. 8949J352, with its full set intact down to the green chronometer seal and hang tag; a second, worn example (case No. V820560, circa 2009) carried a CHF 10,000–15,000 estimate at Antiquorum Geneva in November 2024. None of these four lots is a record price by the standards of the wider Submariner market; together they anchor the reference's trading range in the low-to-mid five figures depending on condition and completeness.
