The Submariner was unveiled in 1953 and to celebrate the iconic dive watch’s 50th anniversary, Rolex released the 16610LV in 2003. The ‘LV’ had a green bezel and a glossy dial with oversized hour markers and slightly thicker hands that Rolex termed the Maxi dial. This was the first time the brand used the term officially, although collectors had been using the term Maxi for some 70s matte dialed Subs for many years before!
The case and dial both remain in really superb condition.
We believe this watch may have had a dial swap at service, as there are a few different variations, but it is stunning, The green bezel insert is also in excellent condition.
The watch comes with its original guarantee card, that states a Greek sale, inner and outer boxes, booklets hangtag, polishing cloth and card holder. The watch also comes with Rolex service papers dated this month and so the watch will benefit from the remainder of the Rolex warranty.
The solid link Oyster bracelet, ref 93250, is in fantastic condition and has a clasp stamped ‘RS 6’ and is fitted with solid endlinks.
This is a true modern collectible with a strong following amongst both vintage and modern enthusiasts. Get in touch to find out more!
