Description

Introducing the Rolex GMT 16700, an absolute timeless classic. This exquisite example of precision watchmaking is in excellent condition and hails from 1991, adding an undeniable sense of vintage appeal and pedigree. The sleek black dial displays barely visible age spots, which contribute to this watch's vintage charm and character, reflecting its long history of enduring timeless style and performance.

Highly favored amongst collectors globally, the Rolex GMT 16700 was first introduced to the world by the Swiss watch powerhouse in 1988. The production of this one-of-a-kind timepiece stayed alive for a brief yet dynamic period up until 1999, which has since made this specific model quite sought-after in the pre-loved watch market. Its prominence is further sedimented by it being marked as the somewhat "Transitional Model", a nickname that it won due to its short production span and subsequent replacement with the legendary model 16710.

The GMT 16700 boasts the reliable Calibre 3175 movement, underscoring Rolex’s attention to durability, precision and technique. This particular Calibre 3175 movement permitted the date to alter independently, a rather exceptional and notable feature at the time.

This particular embodiment of pure sophistication comes accompanying a robust Stainless Steel oyster bracelet, a classic Rolex trait appreciated by enthusiasts worldwide. The potent coupling of vintage aesthetics with an undoubtedly robust construction creates a harmonious blend of elegance and resilience.

The GMT 16700 is waterproof up to a depth of 330ft, a perfect accessory for the active man who appreciates luxury timekeeping and doesn’t shy away from water-based recreational activities. Furthermore, with a power reserve of up to 44 hours, it ensures long-lasting performance and is ready to function as your trusted and beloved on-the-go companion.

All in all, the Rolex GMT 16700 stands out to be a perfect amalgamation of magnificent craftsmanship, reliability, and timeless style. A vintage treasure for those who value the things that time, administration, and extraordinary engineering bring to the world of luxury watches.
