This is the 1665 late model 'Great White, ' possessing both the romance of vintage and the stability of modernity.
Born from the establishment of helium gas release valve technology based on real-world feedback from the U.S. Navy SEALAB project, This is the true pinnacle of Rolex Professional Diver Watch history and a legendary tool watch.
This is a piece that I have carefully maintained with the intention of keeping it for a lifetime. However, Having recently acquired a 1966 5513 Gilt model in a hurry, I am sadly looking for a new owner to clear out my collection.
