SUMMARY

The GMT-Master has a long and celebrated history within the Rolex catalogue, and this reference 116710BLNR is significant for being the first to feature a blue and black bezel. It’s part of Rolex’s modern generation of sports watches with the characteristic ‘super case’ that wears with more wrist presence than its 40mm dimensions would suggest. As the perfect travel companion, the 24-hour scale on the bi-directional ‘Cerachrom’ bezel can be referenced against the blue GMT hand, enabling the wearer to track multiple timezones simultaneously.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
