Rolex Submariner Ref. 14060 "Michael Chessman 127m"

Price on request

Voici une montre de pure légende. Une Submariner dont l’histoire dépasse largement le cadre de l’horlogerie pour rejoindre celui de l’exploit humain.

Cette Rolex Submariner référence 14060M a appartenu au plongeur australien Michael Cheesman. En 2013, au large de la Crète, il la portait au poignet lorsqu’il est descendu à 127 mètres en apnée dans la discipline No Limits, établissant alors un nouveau record australien.

À cette profondeur, le plongeur évolue sans appareil respiratoire, avec pour seule réserve l’air contenu dans ses poumons. La discipline No Limits permet d’utiliser un lest pour la descente et une assistance mécanique pour la remontée, mais l’engagement physique et mental reste extrême.

C’est précisément ce qui donne à cette montre toute sa force. La Submariner a été conçue comme une véritable montre-outil, destinée à accompagner ceux qui travaillent et évoluent sous l’eau. Ici, elle n’a pas simplement été portée : elle a réellement participé à un moment exceptionnel de l’histoire de la plongée en apnée.

Le fond de boîte et le bracelet portent d’ailleurs des gravures commémorant cette plongée à 127 mètres, renforçant encore le lien direct entre la montre et l’exploit.

Cet exemplaire est également accompagné de sa boîte, de ses papiers d’origine et des documents relatifs à cette plongée historique.

Plus qu’une belle Submariner, c’est une montre à provenance exceptionnelle : un objet qui a réellement vécu l’aventure pour laquelle il avait été conçu.

 

This is a truly legendary watch — a Submariner whose story goes far beyond watchmaking and into the world of human achievement.

This Rolex Submariner reference 14060M belonged to Australian freediver Michael Cheesman. In 2013, off the coast of Crete, he wore this watch on his wrist while descending to 127 meters in the No Limits discipline, setting a new Australian record at the time.

At that depth, the diver uses no breathing apparatus, relying entirely on the air held in his lungs. In No Limits freediving, a weighted sled assists the descent and a mechanical system helps with the ascent, but the physical and mental commitment remains extreme.

That is exactly what gives this watch its significance. The Submariner was created as a true tool watch, designed for people working and operating underwater. In this case, it was not simply worn — it actually accompanied an extraordinary moment in the history of freediving.

The caseback and bracelet are engraved to commemorate the 127-meter dive, creating a direct and tangible connection between the watch and the achievement.

This example is also accompanied by its original box and papers, together with documentation relating to the record-setting dive.

Far more than simply a beautiful Submariner, this is a watch with exceptional provenance — an object that genuinely lived the adventure it was designed for.
