This exceptional Ultra Full Set features a legendary Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665, sold in February 1981 in Malmö, Sweden, and preserved together with its complete original accessories – a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic vintage dive watches in honest and authentic condition.
Introduced in the late 1960s, the Sea-Dweller 1665 was developed specifically for professional divers and is considered a milestone among tool watches. In addition to its increased water resistance, it features a groundbreaking innovation that proved essential for deep-sea exploration: the helium escape valve, which allows built-up pressure inside the case during prolonged dives to safely dissipate through the left side of the case.
Finding a vintage Sea-Dweller in such original condition is already difficult – an example with its full set of accessories and original bracelet represents a true collector’s dream.
