GMT-Master II

GMT-Master II – Ref. 116710LN
In 1954, Rolex originally developed the GMT-Master as a time zone watch for pilots of the Pan American World Airways airline. What began as a functional tool became one of the most iconic model lines in watchmaking history. GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time – and at the same time for a watch that is much more than a mere instrument.
The reference 116710LN presented here marks a significant milestone: It is the first GMT-Master II with a black ceramic bezel – a model that heralded Rolex's transition into modern bezel technology.
This particular piece is in excellent, almost unworn condition. Signs of wear are virtually nowhere visible. The watch was merely unglued and worn 3-4 times. How do we know this? We sold the watch as a like-new, glued watch, and two weeks later, the same watch was traded in again for another. That's how quickly it can happen!
The watch comes in a perfect full set including hang tags and dates back to 2011.
The watch has been fully inspected by our atelier and comes with a 1-year warranty.
