Heritage Narrative
Among modern Rolex icons, few models have achieved the cult status of the Submariner 116610LV, affectionately nicknamed the “Hulk.” Introduced in 2010, this reference marked the evolution of the Submariner into the modern era, pairing the robustness of Rolex’s Cerachrom ceramic technology with the unmistakable vibrance of a green dial and bezel. A decade later, when production ceased in 2020, the Hulk had already secured its place as one of the most collectible Submariners of the 21st century.
This April 2020 example, offered in mint condition, features the 40 mm Oystersteel case with a unidirectional green ceramic bezel and matching sunburst green dial — a combination that shifts tone between emerald and deep forest under changing light. Powered by the Calibre 3135, Rolex’s long-serving automatic movement, it delivers precision, durability, and a 48-hour power reserve. Complete with box and papers, this 116610LV represents the final and most refined iteration of the classic Submariner before the 41 mm generation took its place.
