Rolex Submariner 16610 2005 b&p

The Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610 is one of the purest expressions of the modern Submariner lineage and, at the same time, the last truly “neo-vintage” reference before the ceramic era. Introduced in the late 1980s and produced until 2010, the 16610 refined the DNA of the classic Submariner without compromising its tool-watch soul.

This example dates to 2005 and features the highly desirable no-holes case, a detail that marks the transition toward a more contemporary and elegant aesthetic while retaining full professional capability.
The dial is clean and well-preserved, with sharp white printing and luminous plots that embody Rolex’s functional design language of the era. The aluminum bezel insert offers warmth and character that ceramic references simply cannot replicate, aging gracefully and reinforcing the watch’s utilitarian roots.

Powered by the legendary Rolex Caliber 3135, the 16610 is renowned for its robustness, precision, and ease of service. It is a movement that helped define Rolex’s reputation for reliability in real-world conditions, from professional diving to everyday wear.

Complete with original box and warranty, this 2005 Submariner 16610 represents an increasingly scarce opportunity to acquire a fully coherent, honest example of one of the most important Submariners ever produced—equally suited to the wrist of a collector or as a lifelong daily watch.
