Rolex GMT-Master, Ref. 16710, Circa 1988/9

The Rolex GMT Master has etched its place in horological history as both an iconic and horological necessity. Introduced in 1955, the GMT Master was initially developed in collaboration with Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) to meet the needs of pilots crossing multiple time zones. Its standout feature was the 24-hour rotating bezel, allowing wearers to track a second time zone simultaneously. The model gained fame as the official watch of Pan Am pilots and became synonymous with the golden age of air travel.

Photographed here, our 1988/9 Rolex GMT-Master, Ref. 16710, is in very good overall condition with period patina seen throughout. Accompanied by its original box & papers, this modern-classic Sport Model Rolex is a daily-wearer or missing piece to any collection.
