Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 Stainless Steel Black Dial (2002)

Description

The Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 embodies the ultimate in travel-time functionality wrapped in timeless steel. Its 40mm stainless steel case features the classic bidirectional 24-hour bezel—here in all-black anodised aluminium—paired with a deep black dial, luminous hour markers and hands, and the signature extra GMT-hand for tracking a second time zone. At 3 o’clock the date aperture sits beneath Rolex’s Cyclops lens, while the Oyster bracelet and screw-down crown maintain durability and precision.

Produced between 1989 and 2007, the 16710 stands out for being the last series of GMT-Master II references to feature the slimmer five-digit case design and aluminium bezel insert. With its straightforward, tool-watch DNA and refined everyday utility, the 16710 remains a favourite among collectors seeking vintage charm with modern usability.
