Specialist note
The present ref. 16610V with green bezel is known as a “Flat 4” due to its bezel insert. The 4 on this insert has a flat top that is longer than the large majority of the anniversary Subs.
It is preserved in very good and honest overall condition and furthermore sold with original box and Rolex Guarantee.
Following five decades of commercial success, Rolex launched the reference 16610 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.
