Rolex GMT-Master II

This Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16710, purchased in 2006, is presented in very good condition and comes complete with its full set of box and papers. A true modern classic, the 16710 remains one of the most recognisable GMT models ever produced, admired for its versatility and iconic red-and-blue “Pepsi” bezel.

The 40 mm Oyster case is crafted from corrosion-resistant 904L stainless steel, offering exceptional strength and polish retention. Water resistant to 100 metres, it features the Triplock screw-down crown and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

The defining feature of this model is its red and blue aluminium bezel insert, allowing the wearer to read a second time zone via the 24-hour hand. The bezel rotates bidirectionally with crisp precision, and its vibrant colours have made the Pepsi GMT one of the most collected Rolex designs in history.

The black dial is beautifully balanced, featuring luminous white-gold hour markers and Mercedes-style hands filled with Chromalight for legibility in low light. The date window sits at 3 o’clock beneath the Cyclops magnifier, maintaining the signature Rolex aesthetic.

Powering the watch is the Rolex calibre 3185, a self-winding chronometer movement offering smooth 24-hour hand adjustment and a 50-hour power reserve. Renowned for reliability, it remains one of Rolex’s most respected GMT calibres.

This example is fitted with the stainless-steel Oyster bracelet, providing durability and a secure fit via the Oysterlock clasp.

The Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 “Pepsi” is an enduring icon that captures both adventure and sophistication. This 2006 full-set example, in very good condition, represents one of the finest expressions of Rolex’s travel-inspired heritage.
