The 116618 is the full 18k yellow-gold Submariner Date of the Cerachrom era, in production from roughly 2008 to 2020 on caliber 3135. Rolex has offered a full yellow-gold Submariner Date in every generation since the 1680/8 arrived in 1969, and the 116618 is the fifth chapter of that line — the first one to pair the full-gold case with a Cerachrom ceramic bezel.

There is no meaningful auction record for the 116618. Gold Submariner lots at the major houses belong to the 1680/8 and the vintage references; the 116618 is recent enough that it still moves through the dealer market, and asking prices there are the better signal.
