Rolex GMT-Master II 16713

Rolex GMT-Master II

The Rolex GMT-Master II, ref. 16713, often nicknamed the 'Root Beer' is a two-tone variant of the GMT-Master line that was produced from 1989 until 2006. Featuring a combination of stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, the 16713 is distinguished by its metallic brown and gold alluminum bezel and brown sunburst dial, which together give the watch its distinctive appearance. This model was designed to offer both functionality and visual impact, appealing to those looking for a GMT with a more unconventional aesthetic. At its core, the 16713 is powered by the Rolex caliber 3185 movement, which provides a 50-hour power reserve, a 28,800vph beat rate, and a jumping hour hand - a useful feature for travelers crossing time zones. While not as understated as other GMT models, the 16713 stands out for its combination of warm tones and classic Rolex design elements. It occupies a space between vintage and modern, offering collectors a model that blends nostalgic styling with reliable performance.
