Rolex - GMT-Master II « Fat Lady » - 16760 - Men - 1984

Good vintage condition Rolex GMT-Master II “Coke” (Ref. 16760) – first generation GMT-Master II. This iconic vintage Rolex, produced in 1984, represents a historic milestone in professional watchmaking. Nicknamed the “Fat Lady” due to its slightly thicker case designed to house the new Calibre 3085, it is also the very first GMT-Master II ever created and introduced the legendary red and black “Coke” bezel. A highly collectible reference, it remains one of the most important transitional models in Rolex history. This watch is offered in good vintage condition, fully inspected and functioning correctly. Signs of wear and age-related patina may be present, consistent with its period and authenticity. Rolex is the world’s most recognized luxury watchmaker, synonymous with precision, durability, and timeless design. The GMT-Master line was originally developed for professional pilots and remains one of the most important tool-watch families ever produced.
