SUMMARY

The reference 16710 is considered the last classically proportioned GMT-Master II with a more refined and wearable case than contemporary examples. It represents a perfect intersection between classic styling and modern construction, and with its ‘Pepsi’ bezel insert and rugged aesthetic, this handsome travel watch is an instantly recognisable icon of modern watchmaking. This particular example features the original bezel insert, which has faded over time, creating plenty of character and its own unique look.
