The Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16700 is, in our opinion, the finest GMT-Master reference ever produced. Not only is it the last "true" GMT-Master before the introduction of the GMT-Master II, but it is also the thinnest GMT-Master ever made, giving it exceptionally elegant proportions and outstanding wearing comfort. For these reasons, it has become our personal favorite among all Rolex GMT-Master references.
The example offered here is presented in excellent overall condition and is a true collector's piece thanks to its 100% original configuration. The dial, hands, Pepsi bezel insert, and Oyster bracelet are all original to the watch, exactly as discerning collectors prefer.
Adding to its appeal, the watch received a complete Rolex service in 2024 and has remained unworn ever since. It is therefore in outstanding mechanical condition and ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. The case remains thick and well-defined with sharp bevels and crisp edges, while the original Oyster bracelet shows virtually no stretch and remains exceptionally tight.
