RolexSea-Dweller

The ref. 16600 represents the final chapter for the classic ‘five-digit’ Sea-Dwellers and strikes the perfect balance between modern construction and vintage design cues.

The 40mm stainless steel case has a trip lock crown and helium escape valve, affording a mammoth 4,000-feet of waterproofness. The uni-directional bezel has an aluminium insert; the last time Rolex would use this on a Sea-Dweller before switching to ceramic.

Applied markers and hands are made from 18K white gold and filled with Super-LumiNova for supreme legibility. Attached to the case is a satin-finished Oyster bracelet with an Oysterlock clasp and diver’s extension. Powering the ref. 16600 is the tried and tested calibre 3135, which has a 48-hour power reserve and is Chronometer certified.

This 2006 example shows some signs of wear on the case and bracelet, and its condition is within the bounds of the seller’s A grading. No box or papers are included in the sale.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
