First year. First ceramic generation. This 2010 Rolex Submariner Black 116610LN comes from a pivotal moment in the history of Rolex's most famous sports watch.
Introduced in 2010, the reference 116610LN brought the scratch-resistant black Cerachrom ceramic bezel to the stainless steel Submariner Date, alongside the more substantial 'Super Case' and upgraded Oyster bracelet with Glidelock clasp. As a first-year example, this watch has an extra point of interest for collectors who appreciate the evolution of the Submariner.
Purchased new in 2012, this example has been carefully worn and remains in excellent condition. There are only a handful of tiny marks visible under close inspection, while the bracelet is particularly impressive. The black dial, hands and Cerachrom bezel remain crisp, clean and beautifully preserved.
It's supplied as a genuine Full Set with its original boxes, warranty papers, booklets and swing tags. Recently tested and running within COSC specification, it's ready to be worn and enjoyed.
Now discontinued, the 116610LN has established itself as an important modern Rolex Submariner Black reference. With its first-year production date, excellent condition and classic black-on-black appearance, this is an especially appealing example of a Submariner that sits perfectly between the vintage-inspired proportions of earlier models and today's generation.
