£9,000.00
| The Rolex GMT-Master II “Coke” – Ref. 16710 is one of the most iconic and versatile sports models ever produced by Rolex — a true collector’s classic that perfectly balances heritage, functionality, and timeless style. Featuring the unmistakable black and red “Coke” bezel, this reference captures the adventurous spirit of the original GMT‑Master line, originally designed for international pilots. The bold two-tone bezel is not just striking — it serves as a practical 24-hour indicator, allowing you to track multiple time zones with effortless precision. Crafted in stainless steel and powered by Rolex’s robust automatic movement, the 16710 offers the perfect proportions that enthusiasts admire: a sleek 40mm case, aluminum bezel insert, drilled lugs (on earlier examples), and the reassuring solidity of a classic Oyster bracelet. It represents the final generation of the aluminum-bezel GMT-Master II models — giving it both vintage charm and modern reliability. This particular example is boxed, adding an extra layer of collectability and desirability for the discerning buyer. Complete presentation pieces are becoming increasingly scarce, especially for sought-after bezel variants like the “Coke.” Whether you’re a seasoned collector or searching for a statement piece with real horological pedigree, the GMT-Master II 16710 “Coke” remains one of the most wearable and investment-worthy Rolex sports watches ever made. A true icon. Instantly recognisable. Endlessly desirable. This example dates to 1991, placing it firmly in the sought-after early production years of the 16710. The watch is presented in excellent condition, with no major signs of wear. The case remains sharp with strong lines, showing only light, honest wear consistent with careful ownership. The dial is clean and crisp, with beautifully preserved luminous plots and matching hands, while the Coke bezel insert displays rich, well-defined colors that collectors prize. The Rolex 16710 “Coke” has become increasingly difficult to find in this condition, especially as bezel inserts like this are no longer produced. A superb opportunity for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a timeless Rolex sports watch with strong long-term desirability. |
