Debuted in 1989 and running in Rolex’s catalog until 2007, the Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 16710 is possibly one of the best examples of the iconic crowned brand’s transition from the 20th to the 21st century. Featuring a slimmed-down 40mm by 12.5mm steel base compared to its bulkier predecessor in the ref. 16760, the 16710 defined an entire era of Rolex GMT-Master II watches with its iconic Coke bezel and highly legible dial, along the way prepping the groundwork for even more updates to the classic design in the decades to follow.
