Introduced in 2005 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the GMT-Master, reference 116718LN marked a new era for Rolex’s celebrated dual time zone wristwatch. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, it was the first GMT-Master II to feature Rolex’s innovative Cerachrom bezel insert, virtually impervious to scratches and fading, setting a new benchmark for durability and refinement.
While the earliest anniversary examples were fitted with green dials, later pieces, such as the present watch, feature a sleek black dial that offers a more understated and versatile aesthetic. The luminous hour markers and bold Mercedes hands ensure perfect legibility, while the robust Oyster case and bracelet deliver the signature solidity of Rolex’s professional line.
Powered by the automatic calibre 3186, the 116718LN combines modern precision with the heritage of one of Rolex’s most storied models. Elegant yet purposeful, it embodies the perfect balance of innovation, luxury, and the enduring spirit of travel that defines the GMT-Master collection. The present lot is offered in unworn, fully stickered condition and complete with its full set of accessories.
