Nicknamed the "Kermit," the Rolex Submariner ref. 16610LV was introduced in 2003 to celebrate the Submariner's 50th anniversary. This particular example is a MK1, from 2004, features the sought-after “Fat Four” bezel insert—named for the distinctive, wider “4” in the 40-minute marker, a detail prized by collectors for its rarity and early production association. The aluminum bezel’s vibrant green hue contrasts beautifully with the glossy black Maxi MK1 dial, creating a bold yet balanced aesthetic.
This piece comes as a super full set—box, punched papers, booklets, hang tags, and even just serviced—adding immense value for purists and investors alike. Preserved in pristine condition, it retains its crisp chamfers, tight bracelet, and strong case lines. Powered by the trusty calibre 3135, it's a milestone model that bridges vintage charm and modern performance. A true icon that marked a turning point in Submariner history, and a cornerstone in any serious Rolex collection.
