Notes

A striking and customized stainless steel automatic professional diver’s wristwatch with date, black dial, and PVD treatment.
Originally introduced in 2008, the Sea-Dweller Deepsea Ref. 116660 represented the pinnacle of Rolex’s engineering prowess, a timepiece built to withstand the crushing pressures of the ocean’s greatest depths. With its Ringlock System, helium escape valve, and formidable 3,900-meter water resistance, it stands as a monument to technical mastery and endurance.

The present example has been customed with a matte black PVD coating, giving the watch a stealthy and contemporary aesthetic that accentuates the depth of its design. The black dial, paired with the monolithic Oyster case, evokes a sense of quiet power, an instrument equally at home in the abyss or the city.

A bold reinterpretation of one of Rolex’s most uncompromising tool watches, this customized Deepsea 116660 combines technological brilliance with modern individuality, remaining a testament to the brand’s legacy of precision and resilience.
