Born in 2005 as the first Rolex GMT to wear a black ceramic bezel in solid yellow gold, this discontinued reference landed right as the GMT-Master hit its golden anniversary. Rare from the start and gone from the catalog now, it belongs to the jet setter who collects firsts and never blends into the crowd. Bold, worldly, and a little bit show off, it walks into a room already knowing everyone in it.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Set against a sunray green dial that dances from deep pine to bright emerald, the face steals every glance. Framed by a scratch proof black ceramic bezel with bold gold numerals, the twenty four hour ring reads sharp from across the room. Carved from solid yellow gold and wrapped in a matching Oyster bracelet, it catches light like a well earned trophy. Heavy in the hand and heavier in presence, it feels less like a watch and more like a statement.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and a second time zone. Unscrewing the screw down crown on the right side wakes it, and one click out jumps the independent hour hand hour by hour, carrying the date past midnight. Pulled all the way out, it halts the seconds so the time lands on the exact tick. Better yet, that hand sweeps backward across midnight just as safely as forward, so nothing ever needs forcing. A self winding perpetual movement runs forty eight hours, water resistance holds to one hundred meters, and the date sits magnified under the cyclops lens.
Comes as a complete set, double boxed with its international guarantee card.
Rare from day one and only harder to find since, a first of its kind like this rewrites what a traveler’s watch can be. Made for the collector who would rather own the story than hear it, it is the piece that quietly ends the search. Reach out and inquire today, before it boards its next flight.
