Lot Essay
The reference 16600 was the last in the line of Sea-Dwellers that closely resemble the original model, the reference 1665. This is the last reference with the aluminum bezel insert before the introduction of the reference 116660, Deep-Sea, which has the ceramic bezel and larger case. The present example is complete with all accessories and stickers on the case back, sides of case and clasp. This is a good opportunity to own a discontinued sport Rolex in true new old stock condition.
