Ref: 16713 Year: 1993 Year: 1993 Movement: Automatic Bracelet: Steel & Gold Case: Steel & Gold Diameter: 40mm Condition: Very good Included: Suede Size: Unisex / Men's The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16713 S series, nicknamed "Tiger Eye" or "Root Beer," is an iconic collector's item produced between the late 1980s and the mid-2000s. It is distinguished by its warm two-tone aesthetic and its brown "Sunburst" dial with shimmering reflections. Material: Two-tone (yellow Rolesor), a blend of Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold. Diameter: 40 mm, a classic size offering perfect balance on the wrist. Bezel: Bidirectional with a two-tone brown and gold aluminum insert. This color combination is the origin of its nickname, "Root Beer." The numerals are engraved in gold for optimal legibility of the second time zone. Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire with the famous Cyclops lens at 3 o'clock. The "Tiger Eye" Dial (Brown): This is the central element of this timepiece. Unlike classic black dials, this one features: - Sunburst Finish: A radial brushing that captures the light, changing the hue from chocolate brown to coppery gold depending on the angle. - Set or Applied Indexes: Featuring 18-karat yellow gold indexes filled with tritium (for models prior to 1998). - Hands: The GMT (24-hour) hand is gold-colored, matching the indexes and bezel. Caliber: Rolex 3185 (automatic). Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT (second time zone). Innovation: This movement allows the hour hand to be set independently of the GMT hand, an essential feature for travelers. Certification: COSC-certified chronometer. Oyster bracelet: For a sportier and more robust look. Rarity: Brown dials are less common than black dials on the pre-owned market. Patina: Over time, the brown bezel insert may lighten ("faded bezel"), creating a unique vintage look highly prized by collectors. Prestige: This watch has been worn by famous figures (such as Clint Eastwood), reinforcing its iconic status. Very good condition; this watch has been serviced. Comes with a suede pouch. 1 year warranty from our establishment, possibility to come and see it, try it on or pick it up in our store in Paris 9.
