Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16660, circa 1986– serial number 935xxxx. A particularly attractive example of the Rolex Sea-Dweller ref. 16660, also known as a transitional model, marking the transition between the earlier ref. 1665 and the subsequent ref. 16600. Combining distinctive features from both generations, this reference is particularly interesting to vintage Rolex collectors. The watch features an attractive tritium dial with naturally developed patina, beautifully matched by the warm ageing of the hands. Together, these details give the watch an authentic vintage character. The ref. 16660 introduced several significant technical improvements, including sapphire crystal, a more substantial case and the automatic Rolex Caliber 3035 with quickset date functionality. At the same time, it retains the desirable tritium dial and many of the classic proportions associated with the earlier generation. The watch is in very nice condition, featuring a strong and well-preserved case, thick lugs and symmetrical crown guards. The original bezel insert with its tritium pearl is also preserved. An interesting and collectible Sea-Dweller representing an important transitional period in Rolex history. The watch comes with boxes.(Please note that there is a dent on the watch case)
