Interesting patina?

My 16610 continues to develop a greenish yellow patina. I have owned the watch for several years and the green is slowly becoming more pronounced. Anyone seen this before? No lume has been reapplied to the dial.

Is the greenish hue coming out in the lume on the dial or hands? It's hard to tell from the pic.

The markers on the dial. Sorry if the pic doesn’t show it well. It looks really nice , just different than the yellow and orange that most seem to have

I've seen greenish patina on watches that were exposed to moisture. When was the last time you have the watch's water resistance checked?

That was my thinking, but if that’s the case it would’ve been years ago. This particular watch was pressure checked about three years ago and hasn’t seen water in that period of time.
