Rolex – GMT-Master II – Black Dial – 116710LN – 2016

The GMT-Master II 116710LN is one of the most purposeful watches Rolex has ever produced — a single-bezel black Cerachrom GMT that wears with quiet authority. Introduced in 2007 as the first GMT-Master II to feature Rolex’s ceramic bezel insert, the all-black configuration remains the most understated execution of the reference, favored by collectors who want function without flash.

This 2016 example presents in excellent condition with the crisp Mk II black “Maxi” dial, applied hour markers, and the iconic red-tipped 24-hour GMT hand for simultaneous tracking of a second time zone. The matte black Cerachrom bezel insert is scratch-resistant, fade-proof, and virtually impervious to UV exposure — it will look this good in twenty years.

Movement is the in-house Calibre 3186 with Parachrom hairspring, offering strong antimagnetic performance and a 48-hour power reserve. The 40mm Oyster case is crafted from Rolex’s proprietary 904L Oystersteel with the Oysterlock safety clasp and Glidelock extension system for tool-free adjustment.

Versatile, durable, and deeply wearable — the 116710LN needs no introduction to serious buyers and no justification to anyone else.
