The Rolex Deepsea D-Blue reference 126 660 took inspiration from the very first Sea-Dweller introduced in 1967 in collaboration with COMEX. The here offered Deepsea features a ceramic bezel, the new Ringlock System and a larger and thicker 44 mm case making it the largest Rolex ever appeared on the market for sale. Nicknamed “James Cameron”, it was a tribute to his historic solo dive to explore and document the deepest part of the ocean where no human has ever conquered in 2012. The main difference between this model and the regular Deepsea Sea-Dweller is the blue dial that goes from brilliant blue to bottomless black. Its two-color gradient dial celebrates Cameron’s journey to the deepest place on earth: the bottom of the Mariana Trench (10 908 meters underwater): it represents the ocean, as you get deeper the water gets darker. Offered in remarkable conditions, this specimen is accompanied by the original guarantee, fitted presentation box and booklets. This very watch is even more precious since it is part of a limited edition of only 33 pieces made for the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, as testified by the engravings on the back and by the certificate confirming this very watch number 19 of the series.
