Rolex GMT-Master II 16710

Description

Rolex 16710A GMT-Master II "Coke" SS Black Dial Circa. 1989

The Rolex GMT‑Master II reference 16710A represents the culmination of Rolex’s vo­luminous aluminum‑bezel GMT range produced between approximately 1989 and 2007, here presented in a timeless black dial format. Powered by the high‑performance Caliber 3185 automatic movement—featuring the independently adjustable jumping hour hand that elevated the GMT‑Master II over its predecessor—this 40 mm stainless steel timepiece offers 100 m water resistance and a versatile GMT dual‑timezone function that once defined pilot’s tool watches. The 12.4 mm profile and 47.5 mm lug‑to‑lug proportion maintain an elegant yet sporty wrist presence, while the robust Oystersteel case and solid link Oyster bracelet (post‑2000 examples) offer collector‑valued durability. The clean black bezel variant underscores a refined daily‑wear versatility, making it a quietly rare configuration among Pepsi and Coke color options. Collectors prize the 16710A as one of the last traditional, pre‑ceramic GMTs embodying Rolex’s classic design and technical refinement—a perfect blend of practical complication and timeless aesthetics. Excellent Condition with Rolex box and undated papers.
