1991 Rolex GMT-Master II (Ref. 16710) "Coke"

The Rolex GMT-Master, a symbol of sophistication and versatility, has a storied history that dates back to 1954. It all started when Rolex received a request from Pan American Airways (Pan Am) to develop a technical pilot's watch capable of displaying two time zones simultaneously. With the advent of commercial transcontinental flights, Pan Am needed a watch for their long-haul international flight crews that would enable them to keep track of time in multiple locations.

Rolex GMT Pan Am 1675

GMT, which stands for Greenwich Mean Time, is the universal time standard that regulates the world's clocks and serves as the basis for aviation planning and schedules. The Rolex GMT-Master is equipped with a fourth 24-hour hand that displays the same time zone as the standard 12-hour hand but on a 24-hour scale. This GMT hand allows wearers to set the watch to GMT or any other time zone and then adjust the offset using the rotating 24-hour bezel to display a second timezone. This remarkable feature makes the Rolex GMT-Master a must-have for anyone who frequently travels across multiple time zones, allowing them to keep track of two time zones with ease and precision.

The original glossy black dial with white gold surround markers is in near-perfect condition, with the only element of age being the subtlest presence of hand drag around the center post that is invisible to the naked eye. The tritium lume plots have achieved a subtle ivory color and exhibit no degradation when inspected under UV light. The original tritium hands match the dial perfectly with no degradation present under UV light inspection.
