Description

ROLEX GMT MASTER II REF. 116748SA The new Gmt Master II series 116XXX was introduced in 2008 circa, replacing the old series 167XX. The difference is significant: the case design underwent a more modern revision, and the movement was definitively updated to the 3186 caliber. Alongside the classic stainless steel reference 116710 LN, this series also includes the 116718LN reference in yellow gold, featuring a case entirely crafted from this precious metal. During the marketing of this series, only a few special references with precious stones were introduced in very limited numbers, such as the 116748SA with alternating diamonds and sapphires. These rare editions added a touch of luxury and exclusivity to the collection, captivating collectors and enthusiasts alike. This Rolex GMT-Master II reference 116748SA is a truly exceptional timepiece that combines Rolex's renowned craftsmanship with exquisite luxury. This model stands out for its opulent design and use of precious materials. Crafted from 18ct yellow gold, the case, bracelet, and bezel of the GMT-Master II 116748SA exude a brilliant golden hue, adding to its allure. However, what makes this model particularly striking is the bezel, which is adorned with an array of baguette-cut sapphires and diamonds in a rainbow gradient. This colorful bezel creates a mesmerizing and vibrant look, setting it apart from other GMT-Master II variations. Powering this exquisite timepiece is Rolex's caliber 3186 movement, known for its accuracy and reliability. As with all Rolex watches, the 116748SA meets the brand's high standards for precision and durability. The watch is accompanied by its original guarantee and booklets.

THE GMT-MASTERĀ 1955

The GMT-Master was developed to meet the specific needs of airline pilots. It became the official watch of several airlines, among them the famous Pan American World Airways, better known as Pan Am. Its most distinguishing visual feature was the two-tone bezel which marked daytime from nighttime hours.

THE FIRST TRANSCONTINENTAL FLIGHTS

As intercontinental travel developed in the 1950s, airliners began to fly swiftly across several successive time zones. For the first time it became important to know the time in various places in the world, simultaneously. It was the dawn of the jet age, and Rolex responded with a watch to match the spirit of the times.
