Rolex 16760 GMT Master Coke Bezel
Rolex 16760 GMT Master Coke Bezel
I know this is said more often than it should be, but this Rolex reference is a true icon. The 16760 is so special that it has 2 nicknames! This is the Fat Lady, but it is also (for the more polite) the Sophia Loren. The nicknames are a reaction to the thicker case that was introduced with this reference. Speaking of introductions…this was the first GMT Master II; it featured the first ever coke bezel; and the individually-adjustable hour hand also debuted with this one. All of that coupled with a relatively short production run of six years makes this a very desirable piece.
This particular example is a 9.6 mil serial number which dates it to 1987. It is in excellent vintage condition featuring a beautiful holes case with thick and even lugs and a gorgeous dial with very nice patina on the markers and hands. The only issue is that the GMT hand lost its lume along the way. I believe that this would be an easy fix for someone with a talent for color-matching. The 78360 bracelet is believed to be original to the watch based upon the clasp code and it is nice and tight and it has 501 end links.
This one just has the look, and it is a 16760….watch only.
