The Rolex Sea-Dweller was released in 1967 as a tool watch for deep-sea diving, and it was the first timepiece to feature a helium escape valve, which was designed to help the watch dive deeper than ever before. The Rolex Sea-Dweller has been a popular sports watch from the Rolex catalogue ever since it was released, and it is configurable in various sizes and materials.

The Sea-Dweller 43 (126600) was released to mark the 50th anniversary of the Sea-Dweller model, and it is easily identifiable by the red Sea-Dweller writing on the dial. There are two variations of this dial, a MK1 dial and a MK2 dial; this particular example is a rare MK1 dial. The MK1 was only sold for roughly one year (the anniversary year) before the MK2 was released the year after. This makes any MK1 dial an anniversary piece and offers some additional value to collectors.

This Rolex Sea-Dweller has recently undergone a complete service by Rolex in London and could pass as a genuine, unworn model. Sold as a complete and original, including the box, papers, booklets, warranty card and service credentials. This timepiece also benefits from a watch register certificate and the remainder of the two-year service warranty.
