AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pre-owned Rolex GMT Master II ref. 16718, in good condition, watch only.
This Rolex GMT-Master reference 16718 with the tiger-eye dial is one of the most distinctive and collectible variations of the GMT-Master line.
Crafted in solid 18k yellow gold, the 16718 was produced during the 1990s and early 2000s, but the tiger-eye dial variant is far rarer and was made in very limited numbers, giving it a strong presence among collectors.
The standout feature is its tiger-eye dial, a natural semiprecious stone known for its striking chatoyancy, where bands of golden brown and deep caramel tones shift depending on how the light hits the surface. Because each stone is unique, no two dials are exactly the same, giving every watch its own character. The warm hues of the tiger-eye dial pair elegantly with the watch’s polished 18k yellow gold case and bezel, creating a luxurious and visually rich aesthetic that stands apart from more traditional GMT-Master configurations.
The watch retains the classic design language of the GMT-Master line: a 40 mm Oyster case, a sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens over the date, and the iconic 24-hour rotating bezel that allows the wearer to track a second time zone. Inside ticks the reliable automatic caliber 3185 (or, in earlier pieces, the 3186), offering smooth GMT functionality and dependable chronometer-certified accuracy.
Combined with its precious-metal construction, unique natural-stone dial, and relatively limited production, the Rolex 16718 with tiger-eye dial has become a coveted and distinctive piece, valued for its rarity, its warm and captivating aesthetics, and its place as one of the more unusual variants in the GMT-Master lineage.
