Description from the seller
Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 16660 in stainless steel
Nicknamed the “Triple Six,” the 16660 introduced a thicker sapphire crystal and a redesigned helium escape valve, enabling an impressive depth rating of 1,220 m (4,000 ft)—double that of the Submariner—and reinforcing the Sea-Dweller’s status as a true saturation-diving watch. The black dial retains its original tritium lume, while the distinctive white gold surrounds (“cups”) frame the luminous plots, improving legibility and creating a balanced aesthetic.
automatic movement, caliber 3035
40 mm diameter
21 mm Oyster bracelet with deployant clasp
This 16660 is more than just a tool watch: it is a pivotal piece of Rolex’s diving history, embodying both technological evolution and timeless design.
Excellent condition
Seller's Story
Our business was born in the early sixties in the ancient Borgo Orefici of Naples with the name "Art and Jewels" and has been handed down from father to son, renewing the ancient Neapolitan goldsmith tradition.
She immediately distinguished herself for the art of setting precious stones, also working for big names and then soon became a point of reference, in our city and beyond, for jewelry lovers.
We then created our “Fabrizio Vollaro Gioielli” brand to offer our customers not only the sale of jewelry but also the creation of luxury creations. Our specialization ranges from diamonds to all kinds of precious stones, such as sapphires, rubies and emeralds.
