Rolex GMT-Master II 116710LN

One of history's most collectible and important watches, the GMT-Master was manufactured to tell the time in more countries than one. A 24-hour bezel is the most famous characteristic of the GMT-Master, with this reference featuring the newly patented black ceramic. As with many of their watches, the Rolex GMT-Master transended from its utilitarian roots as a navigator's or pilot's companion to a symbol of affluence and a travelled lifestyle. Worn on the wrists of famous actors, artists and musicians, the timeless GMT-Master remains iconic and forever cult.

Sold in 2016, this particular 116710LN reference incorporates a black ceramic 24 hour bezel - somewhat of an experiment at the time which morphed into a mainstay in the Rolex catalogue. This future-classic reference commands a real presence on the wrist, measuring at a moderate 40mm diameter and presented on a stainless steel bracelet. Moreover this example is accompanied by its original packaging, booklets, bill of sale and signed guarantee dated 27/12/2016. The GMT Master Ref. 116710LN is a special Rolex release revered by passionate collectors as an understated alternative to the more vibrant GMT-Master colourways. Apart from the minor flash of Rolex green in the 24-hour hand and 'GMT-Master II' print, this reference remains monochrome in appearance.
