The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116710BLNR, famously known as the "Batman", is one of the most iconic and collectible modern Rolex sports watches. As the first Rolex to feature the distinctive black and blue Cerachrom bezel, this landmark reference has become a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide. Crafted from Oystersteel and presented in excellent condition, this GMT-Master II is complete with its original box and papers, offering an exceptional opportunity to own one of Rolex's most sought-after discontinued references.
The 40mm Oyster case combines robustness with timeless style, while the striking black dial features luminous Chromalight hour markers and Mercedes hands for outstanding legibility in all lighting conditions. The bidirectional black and blue Cerachrom bezel works alongside the independently adjustable 24-hour GMT hand, allowing the wearer to track multiple time zones with ease, making it the perfect companion for international travel. Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3186 automatic movement, renowned for its precision, reliability, and approximately 48-hour power reserve. Unlike the later "Batgirl" reference, the original 116710BLNR is fitted with the sporty Oyster bracelet, further enhancing its distinctive appeal.
Offered complete with its original box and papers, this Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116710BLNR represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the most important modern Rolex references. Combining innovative engineering, everyday versatility, and enduring collector demand, the original "Batman" remains a cornerstone of the GMT-Master II collection.
