Rolex 16760 GMT Master II "Fat Lady" SS Black Dial FULL SET 1987

The Rolex 16760 GMT Master II Fat Lady is an icon for collectors seeking the pivotal transition from the classic GMT-Master to the modern GMT-Master II lineage. Launched circa 1983-1984 and running through 1988, the 16760 ushered in the independent 24-hour hand, allowing true dual time functionality—an advancement powered by the legendary automatic caliber 3085 movement. This "Fat Lady" earned its enduring nickname for the noticeably thicker stainless steel case and crown guards necessitated by the robust new movement and sapphire crystal, distinguishing it from its predecessors. The black and red "Coke" aluminum bezel is a signature of this reference and remains highly sought after for its unique historical slot. The original black dial, reserved for earlier examples, paired with aged tritium lume creates a uniquely beautiful patina that enthusiasts specifically prize. With a standard diameter of 40mm, the 16760 is also notable as the first GMT-Master II and the only one offered exclusively in stainless steel. Depth-rated to 100 meters, the 16760 set the template for future GMT models while retaining vintage charisma. Its brief production run and technical innovations secure its status among the most collectible neo-vintage Rolex sports watches. Excellent Condition with Rolex box and papers dated 1987.
