Chasing Unicorns: Why Venus Jewelers Hunts Down Rare Rolex Models For Collectors
Published: Sep 5, 2024
At Venus Jewelers, we know that staying relevant in the world of luxury watches means going beyond the basics. Anyone can find a standard Rolex, but the real magic is in tracking down those hard-to-find, exotic models that make collectors’ hearts skip a beat. That’s why our watch hunter, Jason the Gemologist, is always on the lookout for rare gems like the Rolex Kermit, Hulk, and Pepsi. These aren’t just watches; they’re legendary timepieces with stories that collectors love.
Here’s why these iconic models deserve a spot in your collection:
Rolex Kermit: The Green OG
Released in 2003 for the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, the Kermit (Ref. 16610LV) introduced the now-iconic green bezel. It’s a perfect blend of classic design with just enough flair to stand out.
Why Collectors Want It: The Kermit’s a piece of Rolex history, and with its production run ending in 2010, finding one in great condition is no small feat. It’s like having the cool, vintage car in a sea of modern SUVs.
Rolex Hulk: The Green Giant
The Hulk (Ref. 116610LV), launched in 2010, took Kermit’s green and cranked it up a notch with a green dial to match the bezel. Bigger and bolder, it’s a modern Submariner that turns heads and takes names.
Why Collectors Want It: The Hulk is a modern icon, and since it was discontinued in 2020, it’s even more coveted. Bold, green, and rare—what’s not to love?
Rolex Pepsi: The Cool Classic
With its unmistakable red-and-blue bezel, the Rolex Pepsi GMT-Master II (Ref. 16710) has been a style icon since the 1950s. Originally made for Pan Am pilots, it’s perfect for tracking two time zones—and looking good while doing it.
Why Collectors Want It: The Pepsi’s retro, sporty look and its status as a GMT classic make it a must-have. Whether you’re a globetrotter or just love a little vintage flair, the Pepsi ticks all the boxes.
