A truly exceptional example of a Rolex collector’s favourite, this GMT-Master reference 16700 is presented in pristine condition and supplied as an outstanding complete collector’s set.
Produced in 1991, this watch offers a unique opportunity for collectors seeking a desirable birth year Rolex, combining historical significance with the enduring appeal of one of Rolex’s most iconic travel watches. Finding a GMT-Master of this age in such remarkable condition is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly when accompanied by such extensive provenance.
The watch features the instantly recognisable red and blue “Pepsi” bezel, a configuration that has become synonymous with the GMT-Master collection. The 40mm stainless steel case is paired with a black dial and Oyster bracelet, delivering the classic aesthetic that established the GMT-Master as one of the most important sports watches ever produced.
Powered by Rolex’s Calibre 3175 automatic movement, the 16700 was the final evolution of the original GMT-Master line before Rolex moved exclusively to the GMT-Master II range. As a result, the reference holds a special place within Rolex history and continues to attract strong interest from collectors worldwide.
This example is presented in pristine condition and is supplied as a remarkable collector’s set including the original Rolex purchase receipt, original box, warranty papers, booklets, both Rolex service cards and associated accessories. The completeness of the set, combined with the condition of the watch, makes this a particularly rare opportunity for serious collectors.
As interest in neo-vintage Rolex sports models continues to grow, the GMT-Master 16700 remains one of the most desirable references from the period. Whether acquired as a birth year watch, an investment-grade collector’s piece or simply one of the finest examples available, this watch represents a rare chance to own an increasingly scarce piece of Rolex history.
