The present green bezel ref. 16610LV is preserved in close to new overall condition and sold with the original accessories.
Following five decades of commercial success, Rolex launched the reference 16610 LV (for Lunette Verde) with green bezel in 2003 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Rolex Submariner. Affectionately nicknamed the ‘Kermit’ by collectors, this anniversary piece is the only Submariner reference to boast a green aluminum bezel insert.
The model was also fitted with the new “Maxi” dial with larger hour markers and fatter hands, improving readability.
