Description
Rolex GMT-Master II – Reference 16718 (2001)
The Reference 16718 in 18-carat Yellow Gold is the luxurious pinnacle of the classic GMT-Master II series. While the steel models were designed as pure tool watches, this model from 2001 represents an era of prestigious travel. It combines the masculine robustness of a pilot’s watch with the timeless opulence of solid precious metal.
-
The Case: Made from solid 18-carat Yellow Gold, the 40-mm case preserves the elegant, slim proportions of the five-digit references. The interplay of polished flanks and satin-finished surfaces highlights the excellent craftsmanship for which Rolex is world-renowned.
-
Bezel & Dial: The deep black bezel with gold scale perfectly complements the dial. The Yellow Gold indices and hands prevent tarnishing and, combined with the Luminova luminous material (typical for the year 2001), ensure excellent legibility.
-
The Caliber 3185: Inside beats the proven manufacture caliber 3185. It was the first Rolex caliber with an independently adjustable hour hand, making the GMT-Master II a true travel companion: three time zones can be viewed simultaneously.
-
Bracelet & Wearing Comfort: Whether on the solid Oyster or the elegant Jubilee bracelet in Yellow Gold – the 16718 offers a tremendous tactile feel and a pleasant weight that makes the high value of this timepiece tangible with every wear.
The Rolex GMT-Master II 16718 is much more than a watch; it is a symbol of global freedom and success. In the collector’s world, it is especially appreciated for its durability – a golden classic that has lost none of its fascination even after more than two decades.
