GMT-Master II 'Coke', 16710, Stainless Steel, 2005

Product Description

The Rolex GMT-Master II Reference 16710 "Coke" is a quintessential travel companion, blending vintage charm with rock-solid reliability. Introduced in the late 1980s, this reference marked a turning point for the GMT-Master II, refining the dual-time functionality while staying true to the bold, unmistakable design that made the model a favorite among pilots and jet-setters alike.  

The defining feature? That iconic black and red aluminum bezel, a colorway affectionately dubbed "Coke" by collectors. Unlike modern ceramic inserts, the aluminum bezel on the 16710 carries a distinct character, developing a unique patina over time. It rotates bidirectionally, allowing wearers to track a third time zone—an essential tool for those always on the move.  

At 40mm, the Oystersteel case strikes the perfect balance between presence and wearability, paired with Rolex’s sturdy Oyster bracelet for all-day comfort. The black dial, with its luminous hour markers and signature red GMT hand, offers exceptional readability in any light. A date window at 3 o’clock, magnified by the Cyclops lens, ensures everyday practicality.  

Inside, the Caliber 3185 (later updated to 3186) powers the 16710 with unwavering precision, featuring Rolex’s independent hour hand adjustment for effortless time zone changes. Whether crossing continents or navigating city streets, the GMT-Master II "Coke" is a timeless statement of adventure and refinement.

Our 2005 example is supplied in excellent condition. The watch shows light signs of polishing and wear but excellent for its age. The watch is presented as a full set, with 2005 dated paperwork. It comes with all the booklets, both tags and original Rolex box. The watch also received a Rolex service in 2023, where it had a replacement bezel put on but no polishing to the case.
