Introduced in 1984, the Rolex Submariner Bluesy, Reference 16803, got its nickname from its blue dial and bezel, which is incorporated in a steel-and-gold Rolesor construction.
The first Bluesy bezel was aluminum, but Rolex replaced it with Cerachrom, in a slightly different shade, in 2009. Similarly, the blue of the dial and bezel has transitioned over the years, from vivid to deep dark to bright royal. In 2020, Rolex increased the case size from 40 to 41mm and gave it a new movement, the caliber 3235. The Bluesy, with its striking blue dial and bezel and bold gold case and bracelet option, is one of the flashiest Rolexes out there, flexed by John Mayer, Gordon Ramsay and Queen Latifah.
