Rolex Submariner Ref. 14060 "Michael Chessman 127m"

Price on request

This is a truly legendary watch. A watch that transcends the realm of horology to become part of history.

While Submariners are often associated with extreme dives, particularly the COMEX model, this one is different. This watch belonged to diver Michael Chessman, and it was with this watch on his wrist that he achieved a world record for freediving. He descended to 127 meters, in constant weight, a simply breathtaking depth, surpassing even that reached by Jacques Mayol.

This is the very essence of what Rolex loves to convey and embody: watches as tools, made not to impress on a café terrace, but to accompany genuine human feats. At 127 meters, there is no oxygen, no margin for error, no escape. At this depth, the slightest problem is fatal. And yet, this watch was there, on the diver's wrist, a silent witness to an absolutely extreme achievement.

This is what makes it an absolute legend. It hasn't just lived through history, it has been a part of it. It embodies the very idea of the tool watch taken to its ultimate expression.

Furthermore, it comes with its box, papers, and all the documents relating to this extraordinary feat. All these elements further reinforce its exceptional character.

We're not talking about a beautiful watch here, but a historical object, imbued with meaning, adrenaline, and courage. A unique piece, an integral part of the Rolex legend.

 

 

Voici une montre de pure légende. Une montre qui dépasse largement le cadre de l’horlogerie pour entrer dans l’histoire.

Si les Submariner sont souvent associées aux plongées extrêmes avec la COMEX, celle-ci est encore différente. Cette montre a appartenu au plongeur Michael Chessman, et c’est avec elle au poignet qu’il a réalisé un record du monde de plongée en apnée. Il est descendu à 127 mètres, en poids constant, une profondeur tout simplement vertigineuse, au-delà de celle atteinte par Jacques Mayol.

On est ici au cœur de ce que Rolex aime raconter et incarner : des montres outils, faites non pas pour briller à une terrasse de café, mais pour accompagner de vrais exploits humains. À 127 mètres, il n’y a pas d’oxygène, il n’y a pas de marge d’erreur, il n’y a aucune échappatoire. À cette profondeur, le moindre problème est fatal. Et pourtant, cette montre était là, au poignet du plongeur, témoin silencieux d’un exploit absolument extrême.

C’est ce qui en fait une montre de légende absolue. Elle n’a pas seulement vécu l’histoire, elle l’a accompagnée. Elle incarne l’idée même de la montre outil poussée à son paroxysme.

Elle est en outre accompagnée de sa boîte, de ses papiers et de l’ensemble des documents relatifs à cet exploit hors norme. Autant d’éléments qui renforcent encore son caractère exceptionnel.

On ne parle pas ici d’une belle montre, mais d’un objet historique, chargé de sens, d’adrénaline et de courage. Une pièce unique, qui fait partie intégrante de la légende Rolex
