Description
This Rolex "Great White" Sea-Dweller reference 1665 is an incredibly special watch featuring a Tiffany & Co. signed dial. The dial features a beautiful yellow lume. It is a "Maxi" Sea-Dweller dial and was among the last examples of the legendary reference 1665 made. These examples with 6 million serial numbers have the extremely large hour markers that give them the "Maxi" moniker. I find them to be the most beautiful Great White Sea-Dweller dials. The reference 1665 models with all-white text are known as "Great White" models and the early examples are known as "Double Red" Sea-Dwellers with two red lines of text and the earliest, essentially prototype and not-for-sale, Sea-Dwellers are known as "Single Red" Sea-Dwellers with a single line of red text. The case has been polished in the past. It features a 6.7M serial dating to circa 1981. The lug-to-lug length is 47mm and it measures 40mm in diameter excluding the crown. It is paired on a later service Rolex 93150 Oyster bracelet from circa 1991 and later 501B end links. The watch does not come box and papers. We do not know the service history but it is running well. The watch recently passed a water resistance test of 5 bar. It features a TrueDome D39 crystal.
