Rolex Sea-Dweller Two-Tone Steel & Yellow Gold (Ref. 126603)
A historic milestone and a bold statement in professional diving luxury: The Rolex Sea-Dweller in Yellow Rolesor (Reference 126603). This 43mm masterpiece marked the very first time Rolex introduced precious 18K yellow gold into the ultra-robust Sea-Dweller line. Combining the extreme, over-engineered performance of a heavy-duty deep-sea tool watch with the undeniable elegance of solid gold, this timepiece delivers an incredible wrist presence and unmatched versatility.
Key Features:
- Yellow Rolesor Construction: A powerful two-tone fusion combining high-grade Oystersteel (904L) with solid 18K yellow gold on the bezel, winding crown, and the bracelet center links.
- Sleek Black Dial & Bezel: A glossy black dial framed by a unidirectional Cerachrom ceramic bezel with gold-coated molded numerals, offering a classic look that beautifully highlights the gold accents.
- Gold "SEA-DWELLER" Script: The dial features the legendary model name printed in a striking yellow gold tone, harmonizing perfectly with the hands and 18K gold hour markers.
- Helium Escape Valve: Equipped with Rolex's patented automatic decompression chamber at 9 o'clock, vital for professional saturation diving to release trapped helium safely.
- Oysterlock & Glidelock Clasp: The robust three-piece link bracelet features a folding safety clasp with the Fliplock extension link and the patented Glidelock system for precise adjustment over a diving suit.
- Calibre 3235 Movement: Powered by the state-of-the-art in-house automatic movement, featuring a highly efficient Chronergy escapement and a generous 70-hour power reserve.
