Notes

The Rolex Sea-Dweller ref.1665 is surely the most representative of the brand concerning professional diving models. It features the exclusive helium expulsion valve, which is essential during the decompression process after diving at great depth. The present Sea-Dweller has developed a stunning patina turning the original color in a chocolate brown which perfectly matches the double red writing.
