Description: Rolex GMT-Master II 116718
The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 116718 (2011) is a remarkable piece that carries significant historical value in the GMT-Master collection. It was the first Rolex GMT to feature a ceramic bezel, making it a milestone model when it was released. The reference 116718 has an unmistakable presence, crafted entirely in lustrous yellow gold, showcasing Rolex’s signature “Cerachrom” ceramic bezel insert with golden 24-hour graduations.

This particular model features a bold black “Maxi” dial with larger, luminous hour markers and broader hands for easy readability. The iconic green GMT hand and green GMT-Master II logo are what set this piece apart, providing a unique pop of color. As one of the earliest examples of the GMT series with a ceramic bezel, the 116718 helped shape the evolution of the collection and remains highly sought after by collectors.
