Rolex GMT-Master II "Root Beer"

Details

First released in 1954, the GMT-Master was a joint effort by the watchmakers at Rolex and pilots at Pan American Airways. This resulted in the ref. 6542, which utilised the base movement and case from the Turn-o-Graph ref. 6202 (which developed into the Submariner) and modified it to include the now-famous 24-hour hand and two-colour bezel. Later models replaced the fragile bakelite bezel with an aluminium one, enlarged the case, and allowed the 12-hour hand to be independently set.

This Rolex is in excellent condition, with light handling marks on the case and bracelet. The aluminium bezel, dial and hands are all clean.

This Rolex comes with the original inner and outer boxes, guarantee certificate, and booklets.

ROLEX

Known by many simply as 'the Crown', Rolex has certainly done much to deserve its reputation. From its founding just over a century ago by a German immigrant in the UK, Rolex has grown to become an international behemoth, recognisable (and indeed visible) across the globe.

Few other watchmakers can boast the same combination of consistency, quality and desirability as Rolex. Everything from the build quality of the cases and bracelets to the chronometer-rated movements are designed to ensure that even the most discerning of owners are satisfied.
