Launched in 1989 and in production until 2007, the GMT-Master II 16 710 is a testament to Rolex’s commitment to engineering precision and aesthetics design. Introduced as a replacement of the 16 760, the defining feature of this model is the black and red bidirectional aluminum bezel, reminiscent of the iconic Coca-Cola can and earning it the affectionate moniker “Coke.” This unique design is not just a visual statement but also serves a practical purpose with its precision GMT movement, allowing wearers to track two time zones simultaneously. Crafted with a robust stainless steel case and the enduring Oyster bracelet, the Rolex GMT-Master II 16 710 “Coke” is a symbol of durability and functionality. The present example in stainless steel has been preserved in truly remarkable and great conditions of both case and dial. The back shows the engraved official royal crest of Oman: also known as Khanjar, this logo has nowadays become more appreciated and sought after by collectors due to the limited productions of these special specimens, given as gifts to dignitaries at events, government seminars. The GMT-Master II 16 710 “Coke” offers a unique blend of elegance and practicality, making it a noteworthy addition to any horological enthusiast’s collection and is even more so when offered with its full set and its special personalization.
