Rolex 16713 GMT Master II SS 18K Yellow Gold Black Dial

The Rolex GMT‑Master II reference 16713 is a hallmark of late 20th‑century tool watch elegance, first launched in 1989. Its iconic 40 mm two‑tone stainless steel and 18 k yellow gold case is complemented by a black gloss dial and matching black 24‑hour aluminum bezel insert, creating a striking yet timeless aesthetic. Powered by the venerable self‑winding Caliber 3185, this watch offers a quickset local hour hand and independent 24‑hour GMT hand, allowing seamless tracking of dual time zones — a feature that elevated its appeal among frequent travelers. With a 100 m depth rating, it balances robust sports functionality with refined luxury. The Jubilee or Oyster bracelet in matching bi‑metal construction enhances its versatility and collector desirability. Though not a limited edition, the 16713’s production span into the mid‑2000s and its caliber’s eventual replacement by the Caliber 3186 have made it a sought‑after transitional piece. Its COSC‑certified movement, classic proportions, and enduring design ensure that the 16713 remains a cornerstone for both vintage Rolex enthusiasts and seasoned collectors. Excellent Condition with Rolex pouch, original papers dated 2005, and service card dated 2022.
