Collectors Most Concerned - Rolex Sea-Dweller 16600

The Sea-Dweller 16600 is a joint model-it can be seen from the additional pattern added at 9 o'clock on the face plate. This octopus pattern also has meaning behind it. It is the logo of Polizia di Stato Sommozzatori. In 2008, they celebrated the establishment of the organization. At the 50th anniversary, Rolex was commissioned to make a special style watch and sent to the relevant personnel. At the time of this commission, because Deepsea may not be on the stage, the Sea-Dweller was already the most waterproof diving watch of Rolex at that time, so the two parties decided to choose Such a high-performance watch serves as the basis for the special edition. I heard that Rolex only produced 78 Polizia di Stato Sommozzatori special editions. Of course, these are non-commercial products, and it can be said that money cannot buy it.

Turned over to the back of the watch, there are also some eggs that echo the commemorative meaning, including the name of the organization engraved on the back cover and the words 1958-2008. In fact, whether you add patterns on the dial or engrave text on the back of the watch, it is not for Rolex. What a major project, but because of the addition of these elements that are not found in the general market styles, this watch will attract the attention of many collectors once it appears in the second-hand market.

However, it is not so much that the patterns or lettering on the watch are very special, which increases the value of the Sea-Dweller 16600. It is better to say that the frequency of limited production of special edition watches by Rolex and specific institutions is not high, which makes the watch more collectible. The reason why the market raises its price does not lie in its material, function or appearance design. The most attractive main reason is its "rarity", which corresponds to the "harder to get things" mentioned at the beginning of the article. "The more you want" reason, with the mindset that things are rarer, the Rolex look alike watches Sea-Dweller 16600 Polizia di Stato Sommozzatori special edition can create such a proud market.
