Rolex GMT Master II Steel Rolesor 116713LN 2015 RSC Serviced [Preowned]
Overview
The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 116713LN represents a key chapter in the GMT-Master lineage, introducing two-tone Rolesor styling to the modern ceramic bezel generation. Released in 2009 and discontinued in 2018, the 116713LN is a bold and striking timepiece that blends the functionality of a tool watch with an unmistakable sense of opulence. It's a crucial transitional reference and a favorite among collectors of modern Rolex.
This timepiece is a stunning blend of robust Oystersteel and luxurious 18k yellow gold, which appears on the bezel, crown, and polished center links of the Oyster bracelet. The glossy black Cerachrom bezel provides a refined, modern edge that is perfectly complemented by the classic black dial. Yellow gold accents on the hands and bold maxi hour markers provide a warm contrast, elevating the watch's visual appeal and reinforcing the bi-metal construction. The 24-hour GMT hand, also in gold, allows for tracking a second time zone, making it an ideal companion for travelers.
When compared to its successor, the 126711CHNR "Root Beer," the 116713LN offers a different personality. Where the "Root Beer" leans into a softer, vintage-inspired look with Everose gold and a brown-black bezel, the 116713LN feels more traditional and bolder with its high-contrast black and yellow gold aesthetic. While its successor benefits from a newer-generation movement, many enthusiasts still appreciate the unique presence and classic styling of the 116713LN, which remains instantly recognizable and very much a product of its time.
Today, the 116713LN stands as a discontinued model with growing collectibility, especially for those drawn to its eye-catching aesthetic and unique place in the GMT-Master evolution. It's a compelling choice for anyone who appreciates Rolex’s fusion of luxury and functionality, and who values a slightly more assertive take on the classic travel watch.
