16700 Rolex Gmt Master

The Rolex GMT-Master 16700, produced from 1988 to 1999, marked the final chapter of the Plexiglas-era GMTs while introducing the durability of a sapphire crystal. It bridged vintage charm with modern reliability, powered by the Caliber 3175 movement and offering quickset date functionality. At Grey and Patina, we value the 16700 for its transitional appeal—where timeless design meets purposeful evolution in Rolex’s aviation legacy.
