Developed in the 1950s for Pan Am pilots crossing time zones, it was the first Rolex built explicitly for a second timezone — functional, precise, and immediately iconic. The 16700 was the last generation of the original GMT-Master before Rolex moved the catalogue fully to the GMT-Master II, and it carries everything that made the reference great: a 40mm case, the aluminium Pepsi bezel in red and blue, and a clean, no-nonsense dial. Not flashy. Not oversized. Just right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example dates to 1996 — confirmed by its T-serial — and was serviced at the official Rolex AD in Brussels in 2024, coming back in excellent mechanical condition. It comes with its original box, two original booklets, a 1997–98 Rolex calendar, hang tag, and Rolex service card. For a neo-vintage piece of this age, that level of documentation is appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is very good throughout. This is a watch that wears better than its age suggests — sporty enough for daily use, composed enough for any occasion, and interesting enough to hold a room without trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we selected it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Pepsi GMT-Master has been part of the Rolex story for decades — a true classic, not a trend. Rolex recently discontinued the steel Pepsi, which only sharpened what collectors already knew: this combination of colours, case size, and character is irreplaceable. Personally, I prefer the 40mm format. Less imposing, less flashy — but still unmistakably sporty. The 5-digit GMT-Master sits in a sweet spot between vintage soul and modern reliability, with a classic \u0026amp; great movement. Classic and contemporary at once, and now impossible to buy new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRolex\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGMT-Master\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16700\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1996 (T-serial)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMovement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic — Calibre 3175\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOyster Steel · 40mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBezel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium Pepsi · Red\/Blue · 24-hour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBracelet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOyster Steel · Folding clasp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack · Mercedes hands · GMT hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrystal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSapphire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVery good\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eService\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRolex AD Brussels · 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBox \u0026amp; Papers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal box · Original papers · Rolex service card\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGuarantee\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14-day return · 1 year warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Know Your Vintage Watches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57374861525340,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/0544\/2908\/files\/KYVWbatch1-6.jpg?v=1776942731","url":"https:\/\/www.knowyourvintagewatches.be\/products\/rolex-gmt-master-ref-16700","provider":"Know Your Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
