About the GMT Master Ref. 116718

The GMT Master reference 116718 represents a significant evolution within the GMT Master II line, distinguished by its solid 18k yellow gold construction. This particular reference was among the first of the modern six-digit GMT Master II series to feature the ceramic bezel, a notable upgrade from the aluminum inserts of previous generations. It offered a luxurious interpretation of the dual time zone functionality, appealing to collectors seeking a more opulent travel watch.

This model is housed in a 40mm Oyster case crafted from 18k yellow gold, fitted with a matching 18k yellow gold Oyster bracelet. It is powered by the self-winding caliber 3186, a movement known for its precision and robustness, offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a black ceramic bezel with engraved 24-hour markers, providing clear legibility for the GMT function.

The 116718 appeals to collectors who appreciate the blend of traditional watchmaking with contemporary material advancements. Its solid gold construction and ceramic bezel set it apart from its steel counterparts, positioning it as a premium offering within the GMT Master II family. This reference is often sought after for its substantial feel and distinctive aesthetic.
