Rolex GMT-Master, 40mm, Automatic, 16700 (Off-shore item)

The Rolex GMT-Master (Ref. 16700) stands as one of the most iconic and versatile travel watches in Rolex’s lineup. Produced from 1988 until 1999, this reference was the final GMT-Master before the transition to the GMT-Master II, making it highly desirable for collectors seeking classic with a slimmer profile.

This piece features a 40mm stainless steel case with the original black dial, luminous hour markers, Mercedes hands, and the classic red GMT hand for tracking a second time zone with ease. The black aluminium bidirectional bezel adds to its understated tool-watch aesthetic while providing practicality for travellers.

Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3175 automatic movement, the 16700 offers reliable timekeeping and the simplicity of a non-independent GMT hand, staying true to the heritage of the original GMT-Master line.

Originally rated to 100 metres of water resistance, the GMT-Master 16700 combines daily wearability with Rolex’s iconic design and build quality, making it a timeless addition to any collection.
