The watch is in perfect condition both as regards the case, the movement and the bracelet. . Furthermore, it is the specimen N ° 1, the very one that reached 3,150 meters deep in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea on 30 September 1953 and that provided the starting point for the Rolex Deep Sea Special N ° 3, which reached a turn the depth of 10,908 meters (again thanks to the Trieste bathyscaphe) in the Mariana trench on January 23, 1960 and which is currently exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. The watch will be auctioned by Christie’s as part of the auction called Rare Watches Auction, next 8 November, at the Four Seasons Bergues Hotel in Geneva. “The fact that a coveted watch like this prototype, the Rolex Deep Special Number 1, becomes available is a dream come true for many watchmakers, Rolex fans and connoisseurs around the world.
