RolexGMT-Master II

KEY FACTS

• Introduced in 1989, the Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16710 enjoyed a production run of almost 20 years until it was phased out in 2007
• ​Among the most sought-after Rolexes of the modern era, the 16710 is considered the last classically proportioned GMT-Master II thanks its more refined and wearable 40mm case compared to the latest generation 
• It was also the last GMT-Master II to have an aluminium bezel insert; successive references were fitted with the visually-bolder ceramic ‘Cerachrom’ unit used to-date
• This 40mm 2000 example is paired with a black bezel insert
• ​Beneath the screw-down rear casing beats Rolex’s calibre 3185, a chronometer-certified movement with a 48-hour power reserve and a GMT function
• ​The screw-down crown affords the watch 100 metres of water resistance
• ​The watch is paired with a stain-finished Oyster bracelet 
• Offered by a private collector in the United Kingdom
• The watch comes with a Rolex display box, outer sleeve, warranty papers, invoice, booklets, calendar card and swing tags
• ​A spare blue and red ‘Pepsi’ bezel insert is included with the set
• Graded ‘B’ for condition by the vendor who reports the watch to be in good working order
