Rolex
sea dweller Single Red Fullset Unworn - 50th Anniversary

Full-Set 50th Anniversary Edition of the Rolex Sea-Dweller, reference 126600 dated 2019, a collector’s best-seller featuring four major evolutions. The first is a significant change in size: the case has been enlarged to 43 mm, increasing the overall height of the watch by a few millimeters.

The second is a key internal improvement: a new movement, the Rolex 3235 automatic calibre, offering enhanced precision and components made from nickel-phosphorus, which are resistant to magnetic fields. The casing technology is also adapted for operation in helium-enriched environments. The third upgrade concerns usability: the sapphire crystal is now fitted with a cyclops lens magnifying the date window—a unique feature for the Sea-Dweller line, usually reserved for other Rolex models like the Submariner.

Finally, the last modification is a nod to collectors: the Sea-Dweller label appears in red, paying tribute to the highly sought-after 1967 Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 "Double Red", a vintage model whose value now reaches six figures.
