Rolex Submariner 16610LV (2008) 'Kermit'

The Rolex Submariner is one of the most iconic and recognisable diving watches ever made. Shifting through many different variations over its long lifespan, the Submariner is a mainstay in Rolex catalogues. Traditionally monochrome in its design, the mid-2000s saw a monumental addition to the Submariner collection through the release of the 16610LV model. Its bright green bezel stood in major contrast to its black-bezelled counterpart. While the move at the time proved infamous, the 16610LV remains a beloved reference amongst the Rolex faithful, inspriring a wave of design variations for future generations of the Submariner. This reference, nicknamed the 'Kermit', is a true pioneer of contemporary style - commanding a greater presence on the wrist while championing Rolex's signature green. The green bezel, black dial 'Kermit' variation was revived in a new line of 41mm Submariners released in 2020, thus increasing demand for this original model. This model, sold in 2008, is accompanied by its original inner and outer packaging, hang-tags, booklets and guarantee card dated 21/06/2008. Becoming all the more collectable following its recent revival, there is never a better time to invest in one of Rolex's true greats.
