Produced in the late 1980s through the late 1990s, the Rolex GMT-Master 16700 was the final reference to feature a plexiglass crystal and the iconic "Pepsi" red and blue bezel in the original GMT-Master lineage. This example features an all-tritium dial and hands, offering a warm vintage patina that’s highly desirable among collectors. Powered by the reliable calibre 3175 automatic movement, it includes a quickset date function and the ability to track two time zones—originally designed with pilots in mind.
