The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16713LN, manufactured in 2004, is one of the most elegant and representative configurations of the historic GMT-Master II collection. Its combination of stainless steel and 18 ct yellow gold, known by Rolex as Yellow Rolesor, together with the classic black dial and black bezel, creates a sporty yet sophisticated aesthetic that reflects the character of Rolex’s Professional watches.
Its 40 mm Oyster case combines the durability of stainless steel with the elegance of 18 ct yellow gold. It features the classic proportions of the GMT-Master II models of its generation, with a balanced and instantly recognizable silhouette. The watch is equipped with scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a Cyclops lens over the date and a screw-down Triplock winding crown, providing water resistance to 100 metres.
One of the most distinctive features of this reference is its bidirectional rotatable 24-hour bezel, crafted in 18 ct yellow gold and fitted with a black anodized aluminium insert. This configuration, commonly identified as LN, gives the watch a particularly understated and elegant appearance while retaining the original GMT-Master II functionality for displaying a second time zone.
The black dial features applied hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, complemented by yellow gold details that add depth and contrast. The distinctive GMT hand with triangular tip allows a second time zone to be displayed using the 24-hour graduated bezel. The date is positioned at 3 o’clock, beneath Rolex’s characteristic Cyclops lens.
At its heart is the Rolex calibre 3185, a self-winding mechanical manufacture movement with official chronometer certification. This calibre allows the local hour hand to be adjusted independently without stopping the movement, making time zone changes particularly convenient when travelling. It offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours, standing out for its reliability and precision.
The watch is accompanied by its original Rolex certificate dating from 2004, its original manuals and bezel protector, elements that complement the set and add further appeal to this classic reference.
The GMT-Master II 16713LN represents a particularly appreciated period in the evolution of this collection, preceding the introduction of ceramic bezels and larger-proportioned cases. Its design preserves the appeal of classic Rolex models, combining robust construction, practical functionality and timeless aesthetics.
