The GMT-Master II is one of Rolex’s most iconic models, the successor to the GMT-Master developed in the 1950s to meet the needs of intercontinental pilots. Its distinctive dual-time-zone display and third time zone, along with its 24-hour graduated bezel, made it a benchmark in sports and travel timepieces. Reference 16713, produced from the late 1980s through the mid-2000s, represents one of the most recognizable configurations in this collection. The combination of steel and yellow gold—known among collectors as “Rolesor”—is complemented in this model by a black and gold bezel, popularly referred to as “Root Beer” in some variants, although this black-dial configuration is more commonly identified as “Black and Gold.” Its aesthetic combines the functional character of the GMT-Master II with the elegance of Rolex’s two-tone sports models. When the description of a watch states “it works,” it means the watch is functioning. Since collector’s watches typically have delicate and complex mechanisms, the buyer is responsible for any general servicing, inspection, battery replacement, adjustment, or repair that may be necessary. We do not guarantee the perfect functioning of any watch. All photographs of our watches are original and have been taken by our photographers; in other words, we do not use stock photography, which is why the photographs are considered part of the listing.
