Rolex Submariner 16610LV mark 0 (with lug holes) presented in Basel 2003

Rolex Submariner 16610LV mark 0 is the very first 16610LV ever produced. It is the earliest fat 4 available and it has never been officially marketed.

Story

When the 16610LV has been presented in Basilea in 2003, the watch shown in the fair wasn't a classic fat 4. The main feature of this watch was the holes inside the lugs, absent from the other 16610LV.

When the watch has been regularly produced, the offial dealers received the 16610LV without lug holes. Even the earliest fat 4 (serial Y8*) have been produced without lug holes.

The first mark 0 sold

In November 12, 2017, Antiquorum has auctioned one of the ten (has declared by the auctions house) 16610LV mark 0 recognizable but the lug holes in the case. The hammer price has been 52,500 CHF and the serial number of this special and extremely rare watch was Y352188.
