Description
This Rolex GMT-Master II “Coke”, reference 16710, is a watch with serious personality. 5-digit Rolexes fall into neo-vintage category of watches which have exploded in popularity in recent years, and this particular piece is an excellent example of what makes them so captivating. The watch comes from the pre 2010’s era where Rolex made cases in much more wearable - for the average person - case dimensions, with a case diameter of 40mm and thickness of 12mm, making it sit low, flat and flush on the wrist – a real pleasure to wear. It’s worth noting that the “Coke” bezel has never been available on the later/current ceramic versions of the GMT-Master II, so if you want a GMT-Master II with a coke bezel this is your only choice. The watch is fitted on a full-length 13-link Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp. Powering the watch is the Rolex calibre 3185 with independently-set GMT hand, hacking-seconds, bi-directional automatic winding and Breguet overcoil hairspring + microstella regulation screws ensuring excellent timekeeping. Known for its incredible reliability, it’s a movement that brings a sense of comfort, knowing that it has stood the test of time and will safely continue to do so for decades to come.
