The Reference

Examined to the movement.

The Rolex Sea-Dweller reference 16600T is one of the final, most refined iterations of the legendary deep-sea Submariner derivative, the T-suffix variant produced toward the end of the model's twenty-year run from 1988 to 2008. The Z-serial designation places this example in the 2006 production window, giving it the late-run case construction, sapphire crystal, and the long-running Caliber 3135 that powered the reference throughout its lifecycle. The 40mm Oystersteel case is engineered for professional saturation diving with a helium escape valve at nine o'clock, a feature first patented by Rolex in 1967 to permit safe decompression in commercial dive helium environments. The unidirectional rotatable 60-minute bezel carries the original black aluminum insert, a piece of vintage Rolex DNA that ceramic-bezel successors have not replaced in the eyes of many collectors. The black gloss dial features applied hour markers with luminous fills and Mercedes hands. Powered by the in-house Rolex Caliber 3135, a workhorse Superlative Chronometer with approximately 48 hours of power reserve, paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, and the legacy of being one of the most reliable mass-production movements ever made. Water-resistant to 1,220 meters and worn on the Oystersteel Oyster bracelet with Fliplock extension. 2006 production, pre-owned in excellent condition. Affirm financing available at checkout.

I can't tell you how happy I am with Michael and the team at Palazzo Watches. I've been looking for a specific, very rare AP for a long time. Michael found one and worked with me every step of the way to get it into my hands. He was incredibly professional and accommodated every request and need I had. 10/10, will definitely be back for more.

I found my go to place to purchase luxury watches!! Mak and Michael were very professional, transparent, helpful, genuine and kind to me. They made the process of buying my first Rolex very easy. All their watches are authenticated with paperwork and box provided. Mak and Michael were very knowledgeable about each watch and answered all my questions to the fullest extent. I would 100% recommend anybody who is looking for their first or next piece in their collection to come here and purchase a watch.
