RolexGMT-Master II

KEY FACTS

• The GMT-Master II has a well earned place among the most desirable modern sports watches
• Introduced in 1989, the reference 16710 enjoyed a production run of almost 20 years until it was phased out in 2007
• ​It is considered the last classically proportioned GMT-Master II thanks its more refined and wearable 40mm case compared to more contemporary references
• It was also the last to have an aluminium bezel insert; successive references were fitted with the visually-bolder ceramic ‘Cerachrom’ unit used to-date
• This turn of the century 2000 example is paired with an all-black bezel insert, offering a level of versatility not seen in the bi-colour alternatives seen on other GMTs
• 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 and Oyster case affords the watch with 100 metres of water resistance
• The watch is paired with a satin finished Oyster bracelet
• Offered by a UK-based private seller
• The watch is presented with a Rolex display box, guarantee papers, booklet, swing tags and a Rolex Service Centre receipt pertaining to a service undertaken in 2009
• The vendor states that the watch was also serviced by an independent watchmaker in 2016 and 2019
• The vendor also notes they are the second owner and purchased the watch in 2005
• Three spare links are also included where the bracelet has been sized
• Graded ‘B’ for condition by the vendor who reports the watch to be in good working order
