ROLEX SUBMARINER 16610LV 50TH ANNIVERSARY FLAT 4 ONLY WATCH
Rolex Submariner Date 16610LV — 50th Anniversary "Kermit," Flat Four Bezel
Introduced in 2003 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, the reference 16610LV paired the classic Submariner Date case with a bold green bezel insert — a first for the model, instantly earning it the nickname "Kermit" among collectors.
This example is an early production "Flat Four" — the original bezel font used before Rolex revised it to the "Fat Four" numerals later in the production run, making it a more scarce and sought-after variant among specialists and long-time Submariner collectors.
Highlights:
- 40mm Oystersteel case, unidirectional rotatable bezel with green Cerachrom-era insert (aluminum, Flat Four font)
- Automatic movement, caliber 3135
- Black dial, Mercedes hands, Chromalight/luminescent markers
- Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp
- Water resistant to 300m (1000ft)
NO QUANTITY. NO CART. NO CHECKOUT.
EVERY ACQUISITION IS HANDLED PERSONALLY.
Asked quietly.
The questions collectors ask before they call. Anything else — one message away.
Why don't you publish prices?
Most of our references trade inside a narrow private market where a public number weakens everyone's position — including yours. Figures are shared privately, usually within hours of your first message.
Can I see a watch before acquiring it?
Yes — that is the point of the desk. Private viewings are held by appointment at our Miami base, or arranged at a location of your choosing for qualified clients.
How is authenticity verified?
Every piece is independently authenticated before handover — movement, case, dial and papers — and accompanied by full provenance documentation. If a reference cannot be verified to source, we decline it.
Can you source a reference that isn't listed?
Usually. The listed collection is a fraction of what moves through the network. Send the reference you are after; typical lead time is two to six weeks depending on configuration.
Do you buy watches outright, or consign?
We place — directly, with verified buyers. No consignment limbo, no broker chains. You receive a firm view on value within 24 hours and settlement typically within days of a match.
Do you deliver internationally?
Yes. Fully insured, door-to-door, worldwide — or hand-delivered by appointment where the piece warrants it.
