Rolex 116710BLNR GMT-Master II SS Black Dial

The Rolex 116710BLNR GMT-Master II, introduced in 2013, represents a pivotal evolution within the esteemed GMT-Master lineup. Familiarly nicknamed the "Batman" for its iconic blue and black Cerachrom bezel, this reference marked the first appearance of the bicolor ceramic bezel in Rolex’s stable, a technical feat that demonstrated the brand’s prowess in advanced materials. The 40mm Oystersteel case delivers remarkable everyday wearability, while ensuring substantial resistance to corrosion. At its heart, the 116710BLNR houses Rolex’s in-house caliber 3186, a robust automatic movement renowned for its precision and reliability among the most discerning collectors. The model’s dual time zone functionality, defined by the independently adjustable GMT hand and bidirectional rotatable bezel, positions it as both a traveler’s instrument and a modern collectible. With a crisp black dial, luminous hour markers, and the signature Oyster bracelet in 904L steel, the watch deftly balances technical sophistication with unmistakable Rolex style. The “Batman” is not only a technical marvel, but also a milestone in the GMT-Master II chronology, reflecting both heritage ambition and innovative spirit. Its enduring popularity and collector relevance remain undimmed, particularly as Rolex transitioned later to updated calibers and jubilee bracelet pairings. The 116710BLNR is widely regarded as a modern classic with substantial future potential in the collecting community. Excellent condition with Rolex box and papers dated 2016.
