Description: RolexRef. 16710BA rare, new old stock, and exceptional stainless steel dual time wristwatch with rare dial type, bracelet, original guarantee and presentation box Rolex’s GMT-Master was one of the most revolutionary timepieces available when it was first released in 1954. The famed reference 6542 with Bakelite bezel set the standard for all other dual-time wristwatches that followed. Introduced at the dawn of the “Jet Age” and developed in collaboration with Pan-Am airlines, it featured a historic innovation that permitted travelers to simultaneously tell time at both their “home” and “local” destination. The model is so cherished by watch collectors and enthusiasts that sixty-five years after it was first introduced, it remains one of the brand’s top-selling wristwatches. The GMT-Master evolved over the decades with design changes, including the use of a metallic bezel in place of the fragile Bakelite bezel and the addition of crown guards. A major upgrade came with the introduction of the GMT-Master II in 1983, employing for the first time a quick-set hour hand that could easily be moved forwards and backwards. The present reference 16710 is one of the rarest of all GMT-Master II models due to several elements. A transitional model that preceded the use of ceramic bezels for the GMT Master II line, it’s fitted with what’s known as an “error dial”, or “stick” dial. The nickname “error dial” comes from a slight change in the script signature, with the “II” in the GMT-Master II text at 6 o’clock lacking the top and bottom horizontal lines for the Roman numeral “II” as was most often used. The present Z series reference 16710 remains new, used only 2 times, and is particularly attractive with its pristine case, rare “error” dial, and original red and blue “Pepsi” bezel—a complete watch for the connoisseur who seeks an uncommon and rare modern sports watch.
