Rolex Submariner Date “Kermit” – 16610LV – 2007

The Rolex Submariner Date “Kermit” Ref. 16610LV stands as one of the most celebrated modern collectibles in Rolex history. Introduced in 2003 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, the “Kermit” marked a pivotal moment for the brand—being the first Submariner to feature a bold green bezel, a detail that would later evolve into one of Rolex’s most iconic design signatures.

This 2007 example represents one of the final production years of the 16610LV, making it especially desirable among collectors who value the transition era of Rolex sports models. It features the classic aluminum green bezel insert paired with a sleek black dial, creating a striking yet balanced aesthetic that remains timeless. The watch is powered by Rolex’s trusted Caliber 3135 automatic movement, known for its durability, precision, and reliability.

With its 40 mm stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and Oyster bracelet, the “Kermit” delivers both everyday wearability and long-term investment appeal. As one of the most historically significant Submariners ever produced, the 16610LV continues to see strong demand and steady appreciation in today’s market.

A true cornerstone piece for any serious collection.
