Rolex - Sea-Dweller Deepsea "James Cameron" - 136660 - Oystersteel - Blue/Black Dial
$14,595.00
Watch Info
Manufacturer: Rolex
Model: Sea-Dweller Deepsea "James Cameron"
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 136660
Year: 2023 (Warranty Card dated 2023)
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Rolex inner and outer boxes, 2023 Warranty Card, manuals, green chronometer hangtag, and white serial hangtag.
Notes: The 136660 "James Cameron" is the most visually dramatic reference in the Rolex professional catalog — and one of the most technically significant. Named in honor of filmmaker and deep-sea explorer James Cameron, who piloted the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER submersible to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in 2012, this reference commemorates that achievement with its signature D-Blue dial — a gradient that transitions from deep black at the bottom of the dial to a vivid ocean blue at the top, evoking the color change of the ocean as a submersible descends toward the abyss. The 136660 represents the third generation of the Deepsea, introducing the updated Calibre 3235 movement and a refined bracelet profile that addresses the wearability concerns of its predecessors. Water resistant to a staggering 3,900 meters, this is a genuine instrument watch of the highest order.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2023 example has been carefully worn and shows light, honest signs of use primarily on the polished case flanks and bracelet center links. Note: A light professional polish would return this watch to a factory-fresh, "Retail Ready" condition.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The D-Blue gradient dial is pristine, with the transition from black to blue intact and unmarked. The applied white gold indices and Chromalight-filled hands are in perfect condition. The massive 5.5mm domed sapphire crystal is mint and free of any chips or edge nicks.
Case & Bezel: The 44mm Oystersteel case retains strong factory lines with well-defined lugs. The black Cerachrom ceramic bezel with platinum-coated graduations is in perfect condition and clicks firmly. Note: Minor superficial hairlines are present on the polished case flanks consistent with light use — a light professional polish would erase these entirely.
Bracelet & Clasp: The Oyster bracelet is tight with no stretch. The polished center links show typical light desk-diving hairlines consistent with careful use. The Glidelock clasp functions perfectly throughout its adjustment range.

Why the 136660 "James Cameron" is the Collector's Deepsea
The D-Blue dial transforms the Deepsea from a pure instrument watch into something more — a wearable monument to one of the most extraordinary feats of human exploration in the modern era. James Cameron's 2012 solo dive to 10,898 meters remains the deepest solo descent in history, and the Rolex Deepsea Challenge prototype strapped to the exterior of the DEEPSEA CHALLENGER survived the crushing pressure of the ocean floor without missing a beat. The 136660 carries that story on its wrist every day.
This 2023 complete set example — including both hangtags — represents one of the strongest provenance packages available for this reference. With the balance of its 5-year Rolex international warranty running through 2028, the next owner inherits full factory coverage on one of the most technically capable watches ever produced for civilian sale. At $14,595, this is a compelling market price for a complete, well-preserved example of a reference with genuine explorer heritage and one of the most distinctive dials in the modern Rolex catalog.
