Among modern Rolex sports watches, few references have gained the collector following of the Rolex Sea-Dweller 116600. Produced for only a short period between 2014 and 2017, it bridges the gap between the classic aluminium-bezel Sea-Dwellers and the modern 43mm generation. Retaining the traditional 40mm Oyster case while introducing the black Cerachrom bezel, Chromalight lume and the Glidelock clasp, the 116600 has become one of the most desirable contemporary Sea-Dweller references.

Offered here is a beautiful example, presented with its original box and warranty card. The watch has been carefully worn and remains in excellent overall condition, showing only the light signs of wear one would expect from responsible ownership. It represents exactly the kind of honest, collector-grade example we always strive to source.

Unlike the Submariner, the Sea-Dweller has always been Rolex's professional diving instrument. Its clean dial, free from a Cyclops lens, combined with the perfectly balanced 40mm proportions, gives the 116600 a purposeful appearance that many enthusiasts consider to be the last true traditional Sea-Dweller. It is equally comfortable as an everyday sports watch as it is as part of a serious modern Rolex collection.

Powering the watch is Rolex's in-house Calibre 3135, one of the brand's most respected movements. Renowned for its reliability, durability and ease of servicing, it has long been regarded as one of the benchmark automatic movements in the industry. Together with the Cerachrom bezel, Triplock crown and helium escape valve, it makes the 116600 every bit the professional tool watch it was designed to be.

The relatively short production run has made the reference increasingly sought-after among collectors. Many consider it to be the final evolution of the classic 40mm Sea-Dweller before Rolex introduced the larger 43mm successor. As a result, demand for well-preserved, complete examples continues to grow year after year.

Offered with its original accessories and in excellent overall condition, this is exactly the sort of Sea-Dweller today's collectors are searching for.
