ABOUT THIS WATCH

• 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
• 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 GMT-Master II to have an aluminium bezel insert; representing the end of an era for the more traditionally styled Rolex sports watches 
• The watch is paired with a blue and red ‘Pepsi’ bezel, a popular configuration for the GMT and one that echoes the original from 1954 
• In this particular example the red part of the bezel faded to a light shade of red over the years
• ​With its design catering for trans-atlantic pilots, the watch’s GMT hand and 24-hour scale bezel allow the wearer to track multiple time zones simultaneously 
• Beneath the screw-down rear casing beats Rolex’s calibre 3185, a chronometer-certified movement with a 48-hour power reserve 
• 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
