Catalogue Note

One year after the introduction of the new style GMT-Master II Reference 116718, Rolex expanded the collection with three gem-set variations: the 116718 SA, SANR and the present SARU. The world famous brand brought an exclusive new reference to its men's watches and a new size case measuring 40 mm finished in strong 18k yellow gold. The 24 hour revolving bezel is enhanced with baguette-cut sapphires, rubies and diamonds, and a diamond-set case.  The present example has been retained in an attractive overall condition and is an eye-catching piece to add to any worthy collection.
