Watch Details

Description

The Rolex GMT 16700 is a highly sought after and collectible masterpiece embodying the artistry and precision of luxury watchmaking. With its classic Single "Swiss" Dial, this gem is not just a timepiece but a symbol of timeless elegance and style, bringing an air of vintage sophistication to its wearer. Considered as an exquisite find, this model is in mint condition, preserving its original glory and magnificence. Watches of such flawless conditions are rarely available in the market, thus making it an exclusive and unique piece for collectors and aficionados alike. The production of the Rolex GMT 16700 commenced in the year 1988, marking a vital milestone in the watchmaking industry. The production ran for just over a decade, concluding in 1999, which is significantly shorter than other Rolex models, hence the rarity. This magnificent timepiece is powered by the robust and dependable Rolex Calibre 3175 movement. This fixed movement revolutionized the function of date-changing in watches. With this innovation, the user can simply adjust the date independently without intervening with any other functions of the watch, offering an elevated level of convenience and precision to the user. Additionally, the Rolex GMT 16700 is distinguished due to the traditional and sophisticated 78360 bracelet that it comes with, attached to an elegant buckle. This fine detail adds an extra dimension of charm and class, setting the Rolex GMT 16700 apart from its counterparts. Notably, this model, due to its short production span, was subsequently replaced with the legendary Rolex model 16710. This transition further enhances the allure of the GMT 16700, providing it with a unique backstory that captivates watch enthusiasts and collectors. Because of this, it is often referred to as the 'Transitional Model', epitomizing a significant shift in the Rolex epoch. The Rolex GMT 16700 is not just a timepiece. It is a piece of history, an embodiment of watchmaking zenith, offering times of perfection to its wearer. The acquisition of this exclusive model is a testament to the elegance and charisma of the owner, making it a valuable addition to any watch collection.
