ROLEX
Sea-Dweller 4000
16600
The Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600 is fast becoming a highly sought after sports model with its ‘Tool Watch’ appeal.
This example comes from the original Commercial Diver owner, making for an interesting example complete with copies of Dive Log Provenance and Photographs on operations around the world.
Well known for their partnership with COMEX (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises), Rolex were commissioned by the French Diving company in the 1970s to produce a reliable diving watch that could withstand extreme depths to be issued to their divers.
Featuring the COMEX logo on the dial and issue number on the case back these Submariners and Sea-Dwellers have become legendary in the collecting of Rolex and Dive watches.
With the scarcity and high prices achieved by Rolex COMEX watches it is a welcome opportunity to be able to own other Rolex dive watches that have been out there in the commercial diving world being used as intended as the ultimate tool watch and the personal choice of career professional commercial divers.
The piece we present here was previously owned and used by Mr S Cullerton.
Working across the world his commercial diving career has seen him on operations for various companies including HSSE, RBG, REDS and STORK.
