Nicknamed the "Fat Lady", the Rolex reference 16760 was undoubtedly an important timepiece within the Rolex archives.

It was the first model of the GMT-Master II collection allowing the center hour hand to be set independently, the first to feature a "Coke" bezel, the first to incorporate a sapphire crystal and the first to apply white gold indexes.

Extremely daring and cutting edge at its time, the present well preserved watch expresses a great level of creativity.

It is also fitted with a 'spider dial', referring to the fine lines throughout the dial that look like a spider web. These are mainly found on some examples of GMT and Submariner produced around that time with a glossy dial. They are particularly appreciated by collectors.
