The GMT was first released in 1955 specially designed for pilots to keep
track of dual time zones while on flight becoming one of the most
recognizable pieces from Rolex.
On the occasion of the 50th
anniversary of the Rolex GMT-Master, Rolex launched in 2005 the
redesigned GMT-Master II 116718LN in yellow gold and introducing a
ceramic bezel insert branded as Cerachrom that is impervious to
scratches and fading providing high durability to wear.
It uses
the new cal. 3186 with Parachrom hairspring, which provides greater
resistance to shocks and temperature variations. To contrast with the
black bezel, Rolex fitted the anniversary timepiece with a striking
green dial which is referred to as the “Maxi dial” in reference to the
bigger lume plots, giving the watch a more modern and elegant look for
this reference.
The present watch is further kept in new old stock condition and is offered complete with presentation box and warranty card.
Ref Variations: 116718LN, 116718LM,
