The thinner GMT Pepsi…
This is a very cool GMT-Master reference 16700 that was actually the last of the GMT-Masters before Rolex only offered the GMT-Master II.
The 16700 replaced the 16750 in 1988 and featured a non-independent 24-hour hand. Whilst Rolex offered the first GMT-Master 2 at the same time, the 16700 was a less expensive model and also had a thinner case.
This watch has a so-called ‘Pepsi’ bezel, with red showing the daylight hours and blue the night.
The dial is signed T-25 denoting that the dial has tritium hour markers and remains in outstanding condition. The watch comes with the original boxes, three booklets, wallet and 1991 calendar card. The solid link Oyster bracelet, reference 78360 (with clasp stamped ‘P 4’ and 501 endlinks) remains in great condition. The watch has been fully checked and regulated by our watchmaker.
