CATALOGUE NOTE
Comex (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertise) was founded in 1961, in Marseille, at a time when industrial deep-sea diving did not yet exist. Very soon, however, Comex promoted new technology and became a pioneer in deep diving operations for the offshore oil industry. Today, it has more than 2,000 employees and 800 divers located around the world.
At the end of the 1960s, Comex asked Rolex to create a watch that could sustain the high pressure of deep water dives, as the compressed and saturated air began causing a build-up of pressure in the standard Submariner case, which destroyed the mechanism.
Rolex rapidly came up with a patented solution by installing a one-way pressure release valve on the side of the watch case, beside the 9 o’clock position, that allowed the release of helium from the case. This model would later become known as the Sea-Dweller. The relationship between Comex and Rolex continues today. One of the last Comex models made was the present one, the Submariner Ref. 16610. These are rather hard to find in the market, as many of them are still in use by their original owners.
Adding to the rarity of the present lot is that fact that it has never been used or worn, and still retains its factory finish and even its protective stickers to the back of the case. As this watch was never officially retailed (it was sold directly from Rolex to Comex) the Attestation paperwork is left ‘open’, with no retailer’s name or stamp.
