2000 Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16700 'SWISS ONLY' Full Set

After the release of the Rolex GMT Master II, Rolex made a surprising move; they continued to produce and improve the original GMT Master with their own continuous line. One of these variations is the GMT Master ref. 16700. Produced for a surprisingly long time - from 1988 to 1999 - the Rolex GMT Master ref. 16700 replaced the ref. 16750, which was introduced around the same time as the new and innovative GMT Master II ref. 16710. The new GMT Master model was actually less expensive than its counterpart, the GMT Master II, but retained some of its features.

This example here is in outstanding condition. The “SWISS” only dial is a rare specimen as it is only found on late U and A serials like this one. It is crisp with no defects and with a nice glossy black background contrasting with the luminova indexes and hands.

The rotating black bezel is in great condition too. Furthermore, the case remains totally unpolished with super sharp bevels. Same happens with the case back, which still preserves the original sticker.

It comes on the correct 78390 Oyster bracelet with no stretch and fully linked.

It is accompanied by its original punched warranty, booklets, calendars, card holder and inner and outer boxes all original to the watch with the appropriate reference stickers.

The watch is running at COSC specs.
