Rolex Sea-Dweller “Double Red” – Ref. 1665 (Mark IV Dial)
One of Rolex’s most sought-after vintage sports watches – the Sea-Dweller Double Red Ref. 1665 with a Mark IV dial is one of the icons of diving watch history. The watch offered here has a serial number of 5.1 million and, according to the original sales papers (LC100, Germany), was delivered in September 1977.
The case is in very good and honest condition. The proportions are correct, the edges are sharp, and the overall condition is excellently preserved.
The Mark IV dial looks beautiful overall and shows even, attractive aging that harmonizes with the patina of the hands. There is a small chip on the dial at 11 o’clock.
The original bezel insert is still fitted, although the luminous plot has been replaced once. The Oyster bracelet was replaced in the 1990s and complements the watch perfectly for everyday wear.
The serial number is stamped into the case back.
The watch comes with the original German papers (LC100), as well as the box and several booklets.
An extremely authentic and collectible Double Red – with honest condition, beautiful patina, and documented history. A real highlight for enthusiasts of classic Rolex diving watches.
