Lot Essay

Accompanied by a Rolex Attestation, service warranty, green leather presentation box, product literature and outer packaging.

Rolex debuted the reference 16610 in 1989, fitted with the new caliber 3135 movement and a different quality of the stainless steel case, upgraded from the previously used 316 steel to the much harder grade 904L.

Between around 1990 and 1997, approximately 250 examples of this model were supplied to Compagnie Maritime d'Expertise or Comex, a professional diving operation for the oil industry. These pieces featured the Comex logo on the dial and engraved Comex reference number to the back.
