History and Significance
The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 116710LN marked an important modern milestone for the GMT line. Introduced in the late 2000s, it was the first GMT-Master II to feature Rolex’s ceramic Cerachrom bezel, replacing the long-used aluminum inserts of earlier generations. This change brought improved scratch resistance, color stability, and long-term durability while preserving the classic black bezel aesthetic that defined the original GMT watches.
The black dial paired with the green GMT hand created a subtle but distinctive identity for the reference. It retained the traditional tool-watch layout with maximum legibility while introducing modern manufacturing standards, including the Maxi dial with larger hour markers and hands. The result is a watch that bridges vintage proportions and modern robustness.
As the first ceramic GMT and the last all-black GMT-Master II before Rolex moved to two-tone bezel designs, the 116710LN has become a reference point for collectors who want a modern Rolex with long-term significance and everyday usability.
Writer’s Thoughts
This is one of the cleanest modern Rolex sports watches to wear daily. The all-black bezel keeps it understated, while the green GMT hand adds just enough character. It feels solid, balanced, and purposeful on the wrist without being flashy, which is exactly why this reference has aged so well.

Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
