RolexSea-Dweller

Offered by a private collector, this 2020 Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 126603 is accompanied by its display box, outer box, warranty card, booklet, and swing tag. The vendor advises the watch is in excellent condition and it appears to be within their ‘AA’ grading.

While the Sea-Dweller was initially designed as a robust, no-nonsense tool watch, its identity has evolved over the years to become much more of a luxury item. In 2019, Rolex decided to honour the model’s legacy by releasing a two-tone ‘Rolesor’ version in steel and 18K yellow gold. While some might consider the combination of gold on a hardcore dive watch somewhat of an oxymoron, this Sea-Dweller carries its precious metal remarkably well. The rotating bezel, crown, and bracelet centre links are all fashioned from gold, as are the hands and hour markers on the dial. To match these warm tones, the ‘SEA-DWELLER’ script is inscribed on the dial in a gold tone.

Despite its more luxurious personality, the watch still has genuine utility and is equipped with the same impressive 4000ft of waterproofness as the all-steel variant. Rolex’s latest generation calibre 3235 movement is housed inside the 43mm case and features a 70-hour power reserve, chronometer certification, and is tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.
