Submariner Date 'Smurf'

B

Blue on White Gold.

Blue Cerachrom above a blue sunburst dial, the whole thing cased in 18ct white gold. It reads as steel across a room and weighs like nothing on earth in the hand. Collectors call it the Smurf, and it remains one of the quietest ways to wear serious money.

Discontinued, and never replaced in the same form.
