Catalogue Essay
- In 1982 Rolex introduced the GMT-Master II in a new movement with a notable feature in which the hour hand could be adjusted independently for more convenient time-setting.
- The ref. 16710 was in production for 18 years from 1989 to 2007 and featured the upgraded cal. 3185 fitted in a slimmer case than the previous ref. 16700, a change much welcomed by collectors at the time.
- The present watch is offered in excellent overall condition and features an elegant and understated all-black bezel insert from circa 2004 with Super-LumiNova luminescent material.

Rolex
Swiss | 1905Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
