Rolex GMT Master II 16760

One of the first truly legendary Rolex sports watches, the GMT-Master was first created in the early 1950s in collaboration with now-defunct airline Pan AM, to provide pilots with a watch with a second time zone. In 1983, the already iconic watch was updated and renamed the GMT-Master II. The first GMT-Master II reference was the 16760, of which this watch is a fine example. The 16760 has an extra thick case and is notable for being the first Rolex GMT to feature the “Coke” bezel in red and black (the more common version was the blue and red “Pepsi” bezel), and the first to use the 3085 movement, which made the 24-hour hand independently adjustable.

This Rolex GMT Master II 16760 has a Black dial and a Bracelet strap. Due to age, this Rolex may not fall within our typical expected tolerances for timekeeping, and is no longer suitable for use in wet environments or submersion in water. In the interests of preserving original features, utmost care has been taken to sympathetically restore this watch. It has also been referenced against technical documents and manufacturer records where available to ensure authenticity and a clean history. One of our skilled polishing technicians has removed marks on the case and bracelet of this watch, brought about by daily wear and tear, which is why this watch does not come with the remaining manufacturer’s warranty.
