Vintage GMT Master Two-Tone "Root Beer" - 1972

Description:

The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16713, often nicknamed the “Root Beer,” is a distinctive and luxurious timepiece that perfectly balances sophistication with sporty functionality. Introduced in the late 1980s, it features a 40 mm stainless steel case complemented by 18 k yellow gold, creating the classic two-tone “Rolesor” look that has become synonymous with Rolex elegance. Its most defining feature is the warm brown sunburst dial paired with a brown and gold bi-colour bezel — a unique colour combination that earned it the “Root Beer” moniker.

Powered by the reliable calibre 3185 automatic movement, the 16713 allows the wearer to track a second time zone with an independently adjustable hour hand, making it ideal for travellers. Loved by collectors for its nostalgic charm, distinctive aesthetics, and strong place in the GMT-Master lineage, the Root Beer 16713 stands out as a refined yet characterful expression of Rolex craftsmanship.

This vintage example presents in excellent pre-owned condition coming with the timepiece and original box.
