Lot Essay

With Rolex Garantie et Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel dated 15 May 1982, brochure, green presentation box and outer packaging.

Launched in 1967, the celebrated Sea-Dweller reference 1665 was the first wristwatch designed for use in saturation diving, fitted with a Rolex patent valve in the band and guaranteed waterproof to 610 meters depth. The valve was first developed on the Submariner model and allows helium and other gases to escape, enabling the watch to stand compression.

The present watch is from the series produced as of the mid 1970s and featuring an all-white printed dial.
