Description
Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 – Ref. 116600 – May 2015 – Full Set
The Rolex Sea-Dweller 4000 (Ref. 116600) is one of the most coveted modern professional
divers from Rolex. Introduced in 2014 and discontinued around 2017, it enjoyed an exceptionally short
production run of about three years, making it one of the rarest modern Rolex sports references in regular
production.*
This example is dated May 2015 and is in like-new condition, with
full links, sharp case, and a full set of accessories. It features the classic
40mm Sea-Dweller case, black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, no Cyclops over the date,
and a maxi dial with Chromalight lume for outstanding legibility. Powered by the proven
Caliber 3135, it offers professional-grade performance with a depth rating of
1,220m / 4,000ft and a helium escape valve.
Why Collectors Want the 116600
• Very short production run (approx. 2014–2017) – one of the shortest for a modern Rolex sports model
• Last 40mm Sea-Dweller before Rolex moved to the larger 43mm Sea-Dweller 126600
• No Cyclops – classic Sea-Dweller look with a clean crystal and date window
• Modern specs – ceramic bezel, Chromalight lume, Glidelock bracelet, 1220m rating
• Considered by many enthusiasts as the “sweet spot” between vintage proportions and modern tech
For serious Rolex collectors, the Sea-Dweller 116600 is viewed as a future classic: the last
traditional 40mm Sea-Dweller with no Cyclops, yet equipped with all of Rolex’s modern upgrades.
In like-new condition with a complete set, this 2015 example is an outstanding opportunity.
