Deep Sea depth rating = 4482m/14710ft ??

The depth rating on the new Sea Dweller Deep Sea is 3900m/12800ft, however Rolex states that this watch can withstand a colossal 2.98 metric tonnes of water pressure.

2.98 metric tonnes = 6570 PSI, which is the equivalent of 4482m/14710ft


Could the listed depth rating of the Sea Dweller Deep Sea have anything to do with this:

"The average depth of the Atlantic Ocean is 3,900 meters (12,800 ft). The ocean bed is made up of hills, mountains, tablelands and valleys just as on dry land."

or

"Average depth of the Indian Ocean is 3,900 meters (12,800 feet)"
