Description
Feast your eyes on this impeccably maintained Rolex Submariner 16600, nestled within its exquisite stainless steel casing. The 40mm case houses the legendary automatic movement Caliber 3135, renowned for its precision-guided functionality. Once the private collection of distinguished explorer Wayne L. White, this classic timepiece carries a distinguished history of courage and adventure.
This exclusive wristwatch initially surfaced in 1953, making a significant splash among seasoned divers and wristwatch aficionados. Its robust construction and seamless design forged it as a superb underwater companion, swiftly ascending as a standout in its category. It didn't take long for the watch to establish international fame, gracing the wrist of fictional British spy James Bond, further augmenting its iconic image.
Holding steadfast to its sea-faring roots, this esteemed Rolex Submariner is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel, allowing for accurate tracking up to 60 minutes of diving time. Its exceptional resistance in a watery abyss is showcased by the helium escape valve, a unique feature designed to maintain the watch's integrity in extreme underwater conditions.
The watch stands out with a striking black dial, a stark contrast against its silvery exterior. Its distinct aesthetics make it an alluring piece for those seeking both practicality and sophistication. This dynamic masterpiece boasts the capability to withstand atmospheric pressure up to a mind-boggling 4,000 feet (1,220 meters) beneath the ocean's surface!
A reflection of its finesse and craftsmanship, the Rolex Submariner is paired flawlessly with a high-quality bracelet, the model 93160. Its robust metallic links perfectly mirror the casing's stainless steel, creating a harmonious blend of elegance and durability.
To add to the extraordinary appeal, accompanying the Rolex Submariner 16600 is an autographed copy of the book "Cold," penned by the famous explorer and former owner of the watch, Wayne L. White. This captivating read takes you through frost-bitten adventures, making owning the watch a truly immersive experience.
This comprehensive package offers the quintessential blend of horological history, functional utility, and enduring aesthetic appeal. A treasured gem for collectors and watch enthusiasts alike, this pristine Rolex Submariner 16600 is indeed a witness to time and a testament to Rolex's unwavering commitment to quality and precision.
