Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 Coke Black Dial Sep 1997

The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16710 “Coke” is one of the most iconic GMT models ever produced. Crafted in stainless steel, this reference is instantly recognized by its classic red and black aluminum bezel, earning it the “Coke” nickname among collectors.

This example features a clean black dial with luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands, offering excellent legibility across time zones. The bidirectional bezel with 24-hour scale allows the wearer to track a second time zone, while the independently adjustable hour hand—introduced with the GMT-Master II—adds true traveler functionality.

Inside beats Rolex’s reliable automatic movement, known for precision and durability. Protected by a sapphire crystal and paired with the sporty Oyster bracelet, the 40mm Oyster case delivers a perfect balance of utility and timeless design.

The reference 16710 is highly regarded for its versatility and historical significance, bridging the gap between vintage GMT models and modern ceramic-bezel references. Its aluminum “Coke” bezel configuration remains especially sought after for its classic look and collectability.
