Rolex Unveils Solid Gold Deepsea: A New Marvel in Diving Watches

Rolex has astounded watch enthusiasts with the revelation of its latest masterpiece, the solid gold Deepsea. The unveiling of this exceptional timepiece deviates from the predicted release of a new Submariner on an Oysterflex bracelet, introducing a bolder and bulkier option that pushes the boundaries of deep-sea diving watches.

The new Deepsea, crafted in 18k gold, resembles the iconic blue and gold Submariner design, but in a larger and grander form with a substantial 44mm case. The watch’s construction includes a ceramic Ringlock system and compression ring, blending seamlessly with the overall aesthetic of the timepiece. The dial, in a luxurious gold-gilt tone, provides a striking contrast against the yellow gold case.

Notable within this horological marvel is the revolutionary use of a titanium caseback, adding a touch of lightness to an otherwise weighty gold watch. The movement of the Deepsea is powered by the reliable Caliber 3235, featuring functions such as hours, minutes, seconds, and date display, all within a robustly built case that ensures water resistance up to an impressive 3,900 meters.

Throughout the watch, intricate details like the updated Ringlock system and compression ring, now constructed from ceramic, showcase the meticulous craftsmanship that Rolex is renowned for. The subtle titanium caseback harmonizes with the gold theme, offering a visual balance to the timepiece. The Deepsea’s immediate availability at a price of CHF 49,900 makes it an enticing option for luxury watch connoisseurs looking to elevate their collection at Watches & Wonders 2024.
