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 black insert, stainless steel case and bracelet, and black dial, this timepiece embodies all the iconic features of a GMT.
This reference 16710 also features technical improvements such as a luminova dial and hands, which is indicated by the "Swiss Made" marking at 6 o'clock. As we like to say, neo-vintage watches are often the perfect mix, offering the strength and precision of a modern watch while retaining the aesthetics and wearing feels of the vintages.
This particular piece is entirely original and in excellent condition. It was sold in 2000 in Japan. It's a perfect addition and a fantastic start to any collection of Rolex sports models. The black insert is not the most common, although but is more subtle and discreet than the Pepsi or Coke inserts, adding a little originality to this beautiful piece. The watch is delivered with its original set, adding to the great collector's value on this splendid GMT.
The case has a lot of material and sharp edges. The buckle and bracelet are in excellent condition too.
The bracelet is the original one, reference 78790. It has no stretch.
The watch comes with the original outter-box and box, guarantee papers, Oyster and GMT booklets, two translated booklets, a warranty invoice, the red tag. In other words, this is a true "full set".
The movement is the original caliber 3185, which runs perfectly well. The watch was serviced in 2020 by Rolex.
