When most people think of a GMT-Master, they usually picture classics like the 16710 or the iconic 1675. But every now and then, a piece like this comes along and really grabs your attention. We have to admit, we were impressed the moment we saw it—the weight alone is something special. But as you get past that initial wow factor, it’s the subtle details that really make you appreciate the craftsmanship behind this watch.
The gold on this GMT-Master II isn’t your typical modern 18k yellow gold. It has a richer, deeper warmth that gives the watch an even more luxurious feel. One of the standout features is the green numerals on the date wheel and GMT hand - a subtle touch that perfectly balances out the black dial and adds a bit of character to the overall design.
On the technical side, this GMT-Master II is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3186, known for its accuracy and reliability, keeping time at an impressive +1 second per day, with an amplitude of 270 degrees and a beat error of just 0.1MS.
This watch is in immaculate condition, barely worn over the last 17 years, which is a shame for such a great piece, but a real bonus for the next owner. It comes complete with its original box, papers, booklets, wallet, and a spare link. In short, this GMT-Master II with its richer gold tone, thoughtful details, and near-perfect condition, it’s an outstanding addition to any collection.
