Released in 2005 for the GMT-Master’s golden anniversary, the 116718LN was the first Cerachrom reference in 18K yellow gold and remains the only GMT-Master II ever fitted with a solid-green dial. For collectors chasing historically significant Rolex firsts, this discontinued 13-year production piece is a finite and highly coveted milestone no serious collection should be without.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. A glossy, lacquer-like green dial with jewel-like depth shifts between forest and emerald in the light, turning every glance at your wrist into a small private discovery. Solid 18K yellow gold with mirror-polished center links flanked by brushed outer links, this Oyster bracelet delivers a warm, commanding weight stainless steel cannot replicate. Framing it all, the high- gloss black Cerachrom  bezel delivers a sharp, permanent contrast against the warm gold that no aluminum insert ever achieved.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT. The screw-down Triplock crown operates through three positions: Position 1 winds the movement, Position 2 jumps the local hour hand in one-hour increments for quick timezone changes, and Position 3 sets the time across all hands simultaneously. Rotating bi-directionally in 24 precise clicks, the bezel aligns against the triangle-tipped GMT hand to track a third time zone at a glance. Super-LumiNova hands and markers ensure the dial glows bright green and reads clearly in any lighting condition, day or night. Built to run for 48 hours without constant winding and sealed to 100 meters of water resistance for travel-ready protection.

Comes as a full set, double-boxed with Rolex warranty card.

Like Brad Pitt’s character Rusty Ryan in Ocean’s Thirteen, the 116718LN carries its 18K yellow gold pedigree and green dial with a composed, effortless confidence that simply commands the room. A watch for the collector who has stopped asking “which Rolex should I get” and started asking “which one owns the room”, because that answer keeps pointing here. If you have been circling this reference, now is the time to ask.
