Catalogue Essay
Rolex’s GMT-Master has been a hallmark of their production since it was first introduced in 1955. Through the decades it has been upgraded, modernized, and remains an icon in the world of horology. The Rolex GMT-Master II revolutionized the original GMT-Master model with a new caliber, allowing the user to quickly adjust the hour hand forward or backwards in one hour increments. When the hour is adjusted, the minute hand continues to run increasing the practicality and accuracy of the watch.

Rolex’s reference 126718GRNR was released in 2023 with the brand reintroducing a yellow gold GMT-Master II to their collection. The watch has a vintage vibe with glossy black dial, gilt “GMT-Master II” signature, and black/grey Cerachrom bezel with golden numerals. The 40mm diameter case houses their in-house caliber 3285 with a 70 hour power reserve, and sports the desirable Jubilee bracelet.

Consigned by the original owner, the present watch is offered in near new condition and accompanied by full suite of accessories.

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.
