Rolex Submariner 16610 LV “Kermit”

Introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Submarines, the reference 16610LV instantly stood out as a milestone in Rolex history. Nicknamed the “Kermit,” it marked the first time the Submariner appeared with a vivid green aluminum bezel insert, a daring tribute to the brand’s signature color. This striking feature, combined with the new Maxi dial — boasting larger luminous hour plots and broader hands — gave the watch an unmistakable identity while maintaining the rugged elegance of the Submariner DNA.

The example offered here dates to 2008 and comes as a Full Set, with original box, papers, and accessories — a crucial detail that enhances its desirability among collectors. Its 40mm stainless steel Oyster case houses the legendary caliber 3135, renowned for its reliability and chronometric precision. Rated for 300m water resistance, it is as functional as it is iconic.

What makes this anniversary model even more special is the handsome green bezel, which over time develops subtle fading and unique tonal variations — an enchanting detail that elevates the character of each piece and makes no two watches exactly alike.
