	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.

	The successor 126618LB retails at $48,600 USD. The 116618 trades on the secondary market at a meaningful discount to that figure, reflecting the 40mm case, the older caliber 3135, and the lack of current warranty. The blue LB is the more commonly traded dial; the black LN is less frequently encountered and sometimes trades at a modest discount.		The successor 126618LB retails at $48,600 USD.
