Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16610LV “Kermit” Fat/Flat Four – Stainless Steel – Box & Papers – 2005 (F-Series) – Full Set – Excellent

We are pleased to present this highly sought-after Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16610LV “Kermit”, an iconic anniversary model that has become one of the most collectible modern Submariners.

Introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, the Ref. 16610LV stands apart with its distinctive green bezel insert—earning it the nickname “Kermit” among collectors. This particular early example, dating 2004 and sold 2005 with an F-series serial, is preserved in excellent condition and is offered as a complete full set with its original box and papers.

Crafted in stainless steel, the classic 40 mm Oyster case embodies Rolex’s legendary robustness and versatility. The unidirectional rotating bezel features the highly desirable “Fat/Flat Four” insert, characterized by the distinctive typography of the number 4 in “40”—a detail especially prized by enthusiasts and collectors for its relative rarity and early production significance.

The black Maxi dial further enhances the watch’s presence, featuring larger hour markers and broader hands for improved legibility. This combination of the green bezel and Maxi dial gives the 16610LV a unique identity within the Submariner family, bridging vintage charm with modern aesthetics.

At its core beats the reliable automatic Caliber 3135, one of Rolex’s most respected in-house movements, known for its durability, precision, and ease of service. It ensures outstanding performance whether worn daily or kept as part of a collection.

The watch is fitted with its original stainless steel Oyster bracelet, completing its authentic and timeless design.
