The Rolex Submariner was launched in 1953 and has ever since been the absolute benchmark for diving watches. Following five decades of commercial success, Rolex launched the reference 16610LV in 2003 to celebrate the Submariner’s 50th anniversary. Affectionately nicknamed the ‘Kermit’, this anniversary piece is the only Submariner reference to boast a green aluminum bezel insert.
The earliest batches of the reference 16610LV display a slightly lighter-coloured green insert with a specific font to the ‘40’ marking, namely the ‘Flat Four’.
The present early F series watch was produced in 2004 and comes with its original Flat Four bezel. An increasingly rare watch, this well preserved historic Flat Four Submariner is accompanied by its original warranty, accessories and presentation box.
