Lot Essay

With Rolex punched blank Garantie, Attestation de Chronomètre Officel, product literature, card holder, sale tags, fitted presentation box and packaging.

The present watch is in very good condition and correctly displays both the reference number and serial number on the inside of the back in very crisp original condition. The back itself is engraved with the issue number, in this instance 6328, preserved in equally crisp condition.

Reference 16610 was launched in 1989, fitted with the new calibre 3135 movement and a different quality of the stainless steel case, upgraded from the previously used 316 steel to the much harder grade 904L.

Between around 1990 and 1997, approximately 250 examples of this model were supplied to Compagnie Maritime d'Expertise or COMEX, a professional diving operation for the oil industry, featuring the COMEX logo on the dial and engraved COMEX reference number to the back.
