Rolex Sea-Dweller 16660 Tiffany & Co. Retailer Signature Dial – Stainless Steel

Details

A Rare Intersection Of Utility And Luxury

The Reference 16660, affectionately known by collectors as the "Triple Six," is one of the most important transitional models in Rolex history. It bridged the gap between the vintage 1665 Great White and the modern Sea-Dweller, introducing the sapphire crystal, a larger helium escape valve, and doubling the depth rating to a staggering 4,000 feet (1,220 meters). This specific example represents the absolute pinnacle of "Double Signed" tool watches—a professional diver retailed by the world's most famous jeweler: Tiffany & Co.

The Significance Of The Stamped Dial

Dual-branded Rolex dials represent a specific window in time when the manufacturer allowed top-tier retailers to add their own branding. While the Sea-Dweller was designed for saturation divers and professional use, the Tiffany signature adds a layer of high-society provenance. It is one of the few dial variations that instantly changes the context of a watch from a pure instrument to a significant historical artifact.

Sharp Condition On A Period Correct Bracelet

The stainless steel case presents with thick lugs and a strong profile. The black dial is well-preserved, and the Tiffany and Co. signature is crisp and clear against the dark background. The aluminum bezel has aged naturally and remains in great shape. It is mounted on a period-correct Oyster bracelet that maintains its structural integrity. After passing our test bench, the movement is running strong.

A Heavy Hitter For The Serious Collector

This is a trophy piece for someone who values dial variations that are genuinely rare and historically significant. It takes a serious, over-engineered diving instrument and adds a layer of retail history that is impossible to replicate today. It remains entirely wearable as a daily watch while carrying the weight of a true investment-grade vintage Rolex.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
