Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 with papers 16600

The Rolex Sea Dweller 16600 is one of the last truly classic tool watches from Rolex. Produced for nearly two decades, it represents the final evolution of the traditional aluminium bezel Sea Dweller before the ceramic era began.

This example features the clean black dial with luminous hour markers and the characteristic absence of the Cyclops lens, a detail that clearly separates the Sea Dweller from the Submariner Date. The thicker case profile and solid construction give it that unmistakable professional dive watch presence.

With a water resistance of 1220 meters and equipped with the helium escape valve, the 16600 was built for serious underwater use. Inside beats the robust Rolex calibre 3135, a chronometer certified movement known for long term reliability and precision.

The proportions remain extremely wearable at 40 mm, making it both a true professional instrument and a versatile daily watch.

Offered with its original papers, this Sea Dweller combines collectability with everyday usability. A pure, no nonsense Rolex diver that continues to gain appreciation among collectors.
