Vintage Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 with full Rolex service papers
The Rolex Sea-Dweller was made as the watch that could go down even further that the Rolex Submariner, and has become such an iconic and highly sought after watch, and here we are proud to offer a very handsome vintage Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 with full Rolex service papers. Dating from 1974, the Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 was fitted with a helium escape valve, a thicker case and because of this, there was no cyclops magnifier over the date and was capable of going down to an astounding 2,000 feet (610 metes). Still in the 40mm case, being an earlier model it has the pointed crown guard and is fitted on its original stainless steel Rolex Oyster band with flip-lock clasp. The dial has achieved such a wonderful soft patina and displays the "Swiss - T < 25" at the bottom which was produced between 1960 to 1998. As this watch dates from 1974, we suspect that this is a genuine Rolex service dial as it would have had the words "Sea-Dweller" and "2,000 ft=610m" in red. Inside is a 26 jewelled Rolex automatic movement calibre 1570 that has just been fully serviced and comes with our 1 year warranty and of course keeps perfect time, and the case although it has been polished in its life, has not recently been polished by us as the trend now is to leave watches unpolished. With two sets of Rolex service papers as well as its original bezel insert in a separate package, this is one Rolex watch that never seems to go down in price and collectability.

Antique sterling silver locket highlighted with rose and green gold
It is astonishing to think that this locket was made well over 130 years ago and still looks incredible and with the addition of the rare green gold to highlight aspects of the locket, it will be such an amazing talking piece. Gold can alloyed with other metals to produce different colours, such as copper to produce rose gold, resulting in a lovely warm tone to it, and today, although not very common, green gold is made by adding pure silver to the gold, however the green colour is more a soft green-yellow colour. However in the late 1800’s, cadmium was added resulting in a stronger colour, and while never a strong green such as yellow or white gold, the tone of green in antique pieces is more pronounced and is used perfectly here to highlight the leaves in the design in this locket. With the rose gold used in the flower and the border, the rest of the locket has also been hand engraved. The amount of time and thought that went into making this locket would have no doubt been immense, and from near or far, this is such an exquisite locket. Able to hold two photos inside, the locket measures 35.5mm across by 44.3mm or 60.6mm to the top of the bail, and both the design and size of this locket will allow it to so easily be the perfect piece to wear for any occasion.
