Rolex GMT Master II 16760 ‘Sophia Loren’

This Rolex GMT Master II 16760 ‘Sophia Loren’ is a lovely example of a rare sports reference.

This watch has fat sharp lugs and hasn’t been overpolished at any time in its life.  The bezel is crisp with a lightly faded original Coke insert and the sapphire crystal is perfect.

Many 16760 dials have crazed or spotted over the years which means that a lot of them are either damaged or have been replaced with non-original service dials.  This is an original tritium dial and handset and shows no signs of damage.

It comes with the original papers as well as the boxes, books and tags.  The 16760 was originally available with either an Oyster or a Jubilee bracelet but this example comes with both.

Just serviced by certified watchmakers Michlmayr & Co  this Rolex GMT Master II is running within COSC spec.

Produced between 1983 and 1988, the 16760 was the first GMT Master II and the first of any GMTs with white gold borders to the hour markers and a sapphire crystal.  It was also the first ‘Coke’ bezelled GMT Master, the only option for the 16760.
