2003 Rolex Submariner 50th Anniversary 16610LV Lime ‘Flat 4’
In 2003, Rolex released its 50th anniversary Submariner with maxi dial and green bezel, the 16610LV. It is said that only its first iteration, with mark 1 bezel (known as the ‘flat 4’) are the true 50th anniversary models, being released in 2003. The stark difference in market prices between the early iterations and later reflect desirability and collectibility. These iterations have a late Y, and early F serials.
Here we have an early F4 serial Submariner, with a ‘flat 4’ bezel that has turned into a desirable lime green, yet another natural, yet uncommon, aging characteristic of these bezels.
