Is the gold Deepsea worth it over the steel version?

Only if you want the gold case and bracelet as jewelry. The steel Deepsea has the same 3,900 m rating and movement for a fraction of the price.

How heavy is the yellow gold Deepsea?

It is noticeably heavier than the steel Deepsea because the case and bracelet are solid 18 ct gold. Expect it to feel substantial and to need a snug fit.

Can I swim and dive with it?

Yes. It is rated to 3,900 metres with a screw-down Triplock crown, so recreational diving is well within its limits.

What movement does the 136668LB use?

Caliber 3235, Rolex's in-house automatic with a 70-hour power reserve, certified to -2/+2 seconds per day after casing.

The watch on its Oyster bracelet, a Rolex warranty card, and the standard Rolex presentation box. Confirm the card and box with the seller.

Gold Rolex sports models rarely discount. Pre-owned examples usually cost less than new, and prices vary by condition, age and completeness of box and papers.

Our take on the Rolex Deepsea

The Rolex Deepsea reference 136668LB is a 44 mm dive watch in solid 18 ct yellow gold with a blue dial and a blue-and-black Cerachrom bezel. It is rated to 3,900 metres (12,800 feet) and uses Rolex's Ringlock System and a 5.5 mm sapphire crystal to survive that pressure. The caliber 3235 movement is certified to -2/+2 seconds per day after casing. This is the most expensive and heaviest regular-production Deepsea, so its price sits at the top of the Deepsea range rather than near the steel models.
