Catalogue Essay
The Rolex GMT-Master remains as one of the most sought-after timepieces with its aesthetics remaining very much similar to its original design, most notably the bi-colored “Pepsi” bezel that many are fond of. In 2014, Rolex shocked the community by releasing their very first GMT-Master II ref. 116719BLRO encased in 18K white gold offering collectors and admirers of the model a subtle touch of luxury. This reference was then usurped by the ref. 126719BLRO in 2018, powered by the upgraded cal. 3285 and fitted with a handsome blue dial to match. One year later, the firm released the premier GMT Master II with a magnificent meteorite dial like the present example. Offered in excellent overall condition with its original accessories, this timepiece is surely one to add to any collection of fine professional tool watches.

Rolex

Swiss | 1905
Founded 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.
