about the watch
Designed to display the time in two time zones simultaneously during intercontinental flights, the Rolex GMT Master 16710 is a legendary pilot's watch known beyond watch enthusiasts for its timeless design and historical significance. With its red and blue "Pepsi" insert, stainless steel case and bracelet, and black dial, this timepiece embodies all the iconic features of a GMT.
This 2000's reference 16710 also features technical improvements such as a luminova dial and hands. As we like to say, neo-vintage watches are often a good mix, offering the strength and precision of a modern watch while retaining the aesthetics and wearability of the vintages.
This particular piece is entirely original and in excellent condition. Indeed, the watch has never been polished and still sports the original green caseback sticker, which is a pretty rare feature. It's a perfect addition and a fantastic start to any collection of Rolex sports models. The Pepsi insert is a timeless GMT feature that perfectly complements the black dial, giving the timepiece excellent readability and a timeless look. The watch is delivered with its original full set, conferring great collector's value on this splendid GMT.
The case and bracelet have never been polished, so it has a lot of material and sharp edges.
The bracelet is the original one, reference 78790. It has no stretch.
The watch comes with its full original set, which includes the outter-box, box, guarantee papers, both booklets (GMT and Oyster), both red and green tags, the calendar, the warranty translation booklet as well as the green wallet.
The movement is the original caliber 3185, which runs perfectly well.
