Description
The GMT Master was first commissioned in the 1950s by pioneering airline Pan Am, and was designed for aviation. An increase in flight distances created demand for a watch that was able to tell the time in two different parts of the world simultaneously, so Rolex built it with an additional hand set to a 24-hour display on the rotating bezel. By the 1980s, the watch had developed into the GMT Master II, but Rolex continued to produce and improve the original Master pieces concurrently, resulting in the Ref. 16700 that ran from 1988 to 1999. The 16700 introduced innovations such as sapphire crystal, white gold indices and a new steel case.
This Rolex GMT Master 16700 has a black dial and a bracelet strap. This Rolex has undergone a thorough inspection of water resistance, accuracy, functionality and condition to determine the level of reconditioning required to meet our strict standards. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history. All our watches have a 24-month warranty for your peace of mind. One of our skilled polishing technicians has removed marks on the case and bracelet of this watch, brought about by daily wear and tear, which is why this watch does not come with the remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
