Rolex - Rolex Anniversary Submariner 16610LV "Kermit" - Box & Papers / Near Mint
The Rolex Submariner "Kermit" was first released in 2003 as a 50th anniversary piece to celebrate the model line. It was the first Submariner to feature a green bezel, maxi dial/hands and is now highly coveted for its historical significance. Rolex have produced very few anniversary watch models over the years and the 16610LV stands out as our favorite for its unique transitional features.
This D16X serial example, circa 2006 has remained in incredible and unpolished condition. Not only are the bracelet and case extremely sharp and clean, the MK3 bezel insert is completely mint under magnification which is difficult to find and important for value in this reference. This set comes with inner and outer boxes, warranty papers, three booklets, calendar, wax tag and bezel protector. This piece is in close to new condition with no stretch in its bracelet and if you've been looking for a true collector grade Kermit, look no further.
