ROLEX, SUBMARINER 'FLAT FOUR' REF. 16610 T, A RARE AND COLLECTIBLE AUTOMATIC STAINLESS STEEL WRISTWATCH
CASE NUMBER: F 241'455, MOVEMENT NUMBER: 3 0'126'868
The present ref. 16610 with green bezel is known as a “Flat 4” due to its bezel insert. The 4 on this insert has a flat top that is longer than the large majority of the anniversary Submariners. Following five decades of commercial success, Rolex launched the reference 16610 with green bezel in 2003 to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Rolex Submariner. Affectionately nicknamed the ‘Kermit’ by collectors, this anniversary piece is the only Submariner reference to boast a green aluminum bezel insert.
