This Rolex Sea-Dweller Ref. 1665 stands out as a superb example of one of Rolex’s most iconic dive watches. Fully original and remarkably preserved, it features a black tritium dial that has aged to a rich, even pumpkin-colored patina across all hour markers and hands. The luminous material still emits a faint glow under UV light—showcasing the natural character of vintage tritium. Adding to its appeal is a period-correct “super ghost” bezel insert, now beautifully faded, which complements the dial’s warm tones and enhances the vintage charm. The original domed plexiglass crystal remains in excellent shape, showing minimal wear and maintaining the piece’s authenticity. The case retains thick lugs and strong lines, with minor signs of wear consistent with age. It may have seen light polishing at some point in its life, though its profile and integrity remain impressive. The original steel Oyster bracelet is fitted with the correct end links and has 11 links total, comfortably fitting up to an 8” (20cm) wrist. It shows expected light stretch, typical for a piece of this vintage. Powering the watch is a robust automatic movement that keeps reliable time. This Sea-Dweller comes complete with its original Rolex box and service paperwork from 2011, further supporting its provenance. A standout reference that represents the peak of vintage tool watch design—rich in character, functionality, and historical value. **Reference:** 1665 **Size:** 40mm **Year:** 1972 🏞️ [Album](https://imgur.com/a/dMQT4Mq) ☑️ [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/HJ45yuS) 📜 Includes: Custom [travel pouch](https://bogossia.com/products/travel-carrying-case) ($50+ value) 💵 Price: $13,200 + FREE overnight shipping with FedEx fully insured. 🔥 Followers on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/bogossiajewelers) get up to $1,000 off based on items price 🔥 📍 Location: New York 🔒 Authenticity: 100% guaranteed, buy with confidence.
