ROLEX GMT Master II 116710BLNR TO295425 — USD 19,410

The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 116710BLNR, introduced in 2013, is notable for its two-color Cerachrom bezel in blue and black, a combination that earned it the nickname "Batman" or "Batgirl" depending on the bracelet. This model marked a significant update to the GMT-Master II line, incorporating Rolex's proprietary ceramic bezel technology and a redesigned case with broader lugs and crown guards, alongside a Maxi dial with larger hour markers and hands. Powering the 116710BLNR is the Rolex Caliber 3186, a self-winding mechanical movement with a GMT function, allowing for the simultaneous display of two time zones. The watch features a 40mm Oyster case crafted from 904L stainless steel, fitted with a Triplock winding crown ensuring water resistance. The bezel is bidirectional and features a 24-hour scale, while the dial displays a date aperture at 3 o'clock under a Cyclops lens. This reference quickly became a highly desirable piece within the Rolex professional collection due to its distinctive bezel color scheme and robust construction. Its blend of utility, modern aesthetics, and the brand's reputation for durability contributed to its strong appeal among collectors and enthusiasts, making it a prominent example of contemporary Rolex design.
