This Rolex GMT Master II is from the first year the reference 16710 was launched. It has the sought after Tritium dial and hands, which positions this watch in the vintage segment, though it has a sapphire crystal and some modern specs. The case is nice and strong and apart from some scuffs on the 5' lug in very good condition. The red on the Pepsi bezel has aged to a almost rosy pink color while the blue is still very prominent. Apart from being a very early example this watch stands out because of its Jubilee bracelet making it a mix between a sporty and dressy watch. We are happy to offer this watch in a full set with box, certificate and booklets.

Brief History
Rolex GMT-Master
The GMT Master was launched in 1954 and designed in collaboration with Pan American Airways, with an extra 24h hour hand and bi-color bezel that allowed pilots to track two time zones across day and night. The GMT Master is characterised by an automatic movement and the iconic dual-colour bezel that represents each of the 24 hours in a day.
