The Rolex GMT Master, introduced in 1954 with the reference 6542, has evolved over the years and continues to be produced today as the GMT Master II. The GMT-Master II boasts a movement with the added functionality of an independently adjustable hour hand. This feature allows users to adjust the hour hand in one-hour increments without stopping the second hand, or affecting the minute hand or the 24-hour hand. The showcased timepiece is a splendid representation of the GMT-Master II lineage, reference 16710 still impeccably preserved. Crafted in stainless steel, the case is enhanced by the iconic bracelet. The black dial is adorned with applied luminescent dot and baton markers, Mercedes-style hands, and a distinctive red arrowhead 24-hour indicator hand. The bidirectional revolving bezel, calibrated for 24 hours, features the classic bicolor design in blue and red known as the “Pepsi” bezel. Adding to its allure, the watch is presented with its original Rolex Box, Warranty, Service documentation, and Tag, showcasing its authenticity and provenance. This exemplar not only stands as a testament to Rolex’s enduring craftsmanship but also represents the timeless appeal of the GMT Master series.
