Specialist note
An instant classic of contemporary Rolex production, reference 116610 was launched in 2010 and immediately captured the attention of collectors thanks to its green dial and bezel combination, the reason behind its nickname “The Hulk”. In comparison to the previous Submariner with green bezel, 16610, the modification of two details imparts a completely new look to the present timepiece. Rolex decided to give to bezel and dial a vibrant green colour. Indeed, it seems incredible that a color change modified the overall feel of the timepiece in such a tremendous way, and the final result is striking and innovative.
