Watch Details

Description

Presenting the exemplary Rolex GMT 16700, a timeless timepiece that exudes elegance, reliability, and precision. A classic representation of watchmaking mastery, this wrist ornament is in top-tier condition, ensuring absolute satisfaction for its fortunate owner. Notably, it is a remarkable piece from Rolex's 1995 production lineup; an era when quality and distinction were the driving factors behind Rolex's global recognition. Rolex commenced the production of the GMT 16700 series in 1988, a period known for the birth of many Rolex classics. This particular series was carefully curated over a span of eleven years before its inauguration into the market ceased in 1999. The sheer value and craftsmanship of these exquisite timepieces highlight the precision and passion the brand possesses even today. At the heart of the Rolex GMT 16700, you'll find the Calibre 3175 fixed movement, a remarkable feat in Rolex's engineering that allows independent date changes without changing other settings of the watch. It's a convenient feature that specifically benefits the globe-trotting professionals, aiding them in quickly setting their local and home time. Complementing its admirable mechanical features is the 78360 bracelet that it comes with. It effortlessly blends with the allure of the watch while emphasizing its sophistication. The traditional buckle follows the iconic Rolex clasp design - maximising wearability and security, ensuring the watch remains tightly fastened and comfortable on the wrist. An intriguing detail about the Rolex GMT 16700 that significantly elevates its worth and appeal is its classification as a 'Transitional Model'. Its short production span and subsequent upgrade to the more advanced and now-legendary model 16710, earned the Rolex GMT 16700 this grand title. Therefore, it stands as a critical transition point from the original iterations to the newer, more feature-filled versions in Rolex's GMT range. In summary, the Rolex GMT 16700 is a symbol of the brand's perpetual commitment to elegance, precision, and innovation. Its rich heritage, exclusive features, and the story it holds, makes it an irreplaceable piece in any watch connoisseur's collection.
