Rolex GMT-Master II – Ref. 16710 “Coke” – Stainless Steel – Black Dial – Box & Papers – 1992 

We are pleased to present this iconic Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16710 “Coke,” a highly collectible and historically significant travel watch that perfectly captures the spirit of Rolex’s aviation heritage. Featuring the distinctive black and red “Coke” bezel, this reference remains a favorite among enthusiasts for its versatility, functionality, and timeless design.

Manufactured in 1992, this example is in very good condtion, but shows some signs of usage. Comes with its original box and papers—an increasingly rare and desirable combination for early production pieces of this reference.

The 40 mm case is crafted in robust stainless steel, embodying Rolex’s commitment to durability and everyday usability. With its classic Oyster case construction, screw-down crown, and solid proportions, the watch offers both reliability and a confident presence on the wrist.

The bidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with the iconic aluminum insert in black and red, earning the nickname “Coke” among collectors. This 24-hour bezel allows the wearer to track a second time zone, making it an essential tool for frequent travelers. The crisp contrast between the two colors enhances legibility while adding a bold visual identity.

The black dial is clean, functional, and instantly recognizable, featuring luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands for optimal readability in all conditions. The red GMT hand provides a clear reference for a second time zone, while the date display at 3 o’clock is complemented by Rolex’s signature Cyclops lens.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3185, a self-winding movement known for its robustness and precision. It enables independent adjustment of the local hour hand, allowing seamless time zone changes without stopping the movement—an essential feature for travelers. The movement offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

The watch is fitted with a stainless steel Oyster bracelet, providing both durability and comfort, and secured with a folding clasp for reliable everyday wear.
