Description
Rolex is a Swiss company with a decidedly Teutonic philosophy: keep improving the details of something incrementally until it’s perfect. There was nothing wrong with the previous generation of the Rolex GMT Master II, it’s just that a tweak here or a tweak there would have improved it. So, Rolex improved it, with the use of the Trip-Lock crown system used in the Submariner, use of the Maxi Dial as implemented on the Anniversary Submariner, implementation of a ceramic bezel insert, more massive case elements like thicker bezel and thicker lugs, and a much improved clasp. Think of it as a GMT on steroids!

Case is solid 18k gold with dimensions of 40mm diameter by 12.2mm thick. Massive trip-lock screw down crown (a huge improvement for the GMT in my opinion). Ceramic bezel (scratch resistant and color will not fade over time). Extra thick crown guards and lugs. Much improved clasp on the solid 18k Oyster bracelet (with polished center links). Bi-directional 24 hour bezel. Case is water resistant to 100 meters.

Dial is black with applied gold hour markers filled with luminous. Golden hands also filled with luminous. Green 24 hour hand. Date at 3 o'clock.

Movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 3185 with 31 jewels, Parachrome Blue Breguet balance spring, and balance with microstella regulating screws. This movement is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer.

This beautiful Rolex GMT Master II is 99% new with box and papers. US Retail Price is $33,250.
