AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered at NO RESERVE PRICE from a 100% positive feedback EUROPEAN seller, so no need to pay 21% import taxes, if you are an European buyer and in a complete set, including the Rolex warranty certificate:
The best Rolex Sea-Dweller buy available on the Internet.....
Like new, Rolex men's wristwatch with automatic winding, date, helium valve and rare "Swiss only" dial, model Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600.
Sold in a complete set together with:
- The Rolex numbered double boxes.
- Numered and dated Rolex green warranty certificate.

- Rolex booklet "How to use your special watch" (In Japanese)
- Rolex calendercard.

The watch is numbered between the lugs with the numbers "16600" and "U744561", so this Rolex was produced in 1998. It was bought by the first owner at the Oriëntal Watch Co. in Hong Kong in December of 1998 and is now again for sale.

About the Sea-Dweller:
The Rolex Sea-Dweller is in fact a professional version of the Rolex Submariner. The Submariner cannot manage with great depths and the decompression phase when divers return to the surface.
The Sea-Dweller performs excellent under these conditions. During the years that this model 16600 was produced, Rolex incorporated the information on the Sea-Dweller in the Submariner instruction booklet, so this Submariner information booklet is original to the set.
The Watch:
The steel case with black bezel measures 40mm, excluding the signed crown. Crown with screwdown.
Left side of the case with the Helium valve.
Fully signed black "Swiss only" dial with white markers. Sapphire glass. Date with quickset.

Seller's Story
Our mission is not to sell watches, but to build relationships.
We strive to be your best online partner for the purchase of exclusive pre-owned wristwatches. Please read our feedback, where you can check if we succeed in our mission.
Together with my wife, who has an amazing eye for detail, we run our business for many years now.
Premium quality and flawless personal service are a prerequisite to be in business and that is what we are known for. On Catawiki only an extensive series of detailed photos and information about the wristwatch in question can justify an online decision by the buyer about an investment of often thousands of euros.
Many of these buyers return to us for their second- or third purchase and many of them have built up their collection through our network.
Our wristwatches have been fully checked for authenticity and function and preferably come with the original box, documents and information on provenance. As a result, our wristwatches retain their value and can be a good long-term investment.
To make our wristwatches accessible to everyone, we offer most wristwatches without reserve.
We are known for our "No Reserve" vintage Rolex auctions.
Our Catawiki Rolex buyers represent countries from all over the world.
As far as we can judge, the way we present our wristwatches is unique on Catawiki. It is the only way to do it right for you, the buyer.
Buyers often do not realize that they pay an additional 21% custom taxes, when they buy from a seller from Turkey or Japan.
As we are EU based, this extra cost is not applicable when the buyer is an EU resident.
