Rolex Submariner Date „Hulk“ Reference 116610LV - Unworn - Box & Papers 2012 - Stickers On

An exceptional opportunity to acquire one of the most sought-after modern Rolex sports watches,the Rolex Submariner Date "Hulk", reference 116610LV, presented in unworn condition and preserved as a true safe queen since its original purchase in 2012.

Complete with its original Rolex box and warranty papers, this remarkable example retains its original factory protective stickers, an increasingly rare feature that highlights its untouched and carefully preserved condition. Finding an unworn Hulk from the early years of production with stickers still intact has become exceptionally difficult, making this a highly desirable piece for discerning collectors and investors alike.

The 40 mm Oystersteel case is paired with Rolex's unmistakable green Cerachrom ceramic bezel and the vibrant green "sunburst" dial, a combination that earned this reference its famous nickname, "Hulk." The dial displays changing shades of green depending on the light, creating a dynamic appearance that distinguishes it from every other Submariner ever produced.

Powering the watch is the legendary Rolex Calibre 3135, one of the most respected automatic movements in modern watchmaking. The Calibre 3135 earned a reputation over more than three decades as one of the finest and most reliable automatic movements ever produced by Rolex.

This reference 116610LV Hulk is accompanied by:

- Original Rolex presentation box

- Original warranty card, Germany 2012

- Original factory protective stickers still attached

- green leather card holder

- Rolex tag

- Chronometer tag

Introduced in 2010, the Rolex Submariner Date reference 116610LV marked a significant evolution of the legendary Submariner collection. While succeeding the beloved "Kermit" (reference 16610LV), the Hulk introduced an entirely new personality with its bold green dial, matching green ceramic bezel, and the larger "Super Case" featuring broader lugs and crown guards.

Manufactured until 2020, when it was discontinued and replaced by the 41 mm reference 126610LV, the Hulk enjoyed a relatively short production run. Its discontinuation immediately elevated its desirability, and it has since become one of the most collectible modern Rolex sports watches. The combination of its distinctive appearance, limited production period, and iconic status has made the 116610LV a cornerstone of many serious Rolex collections.
