The Rolex Reference 16710 Pepsi GMT is a timeless and iconic timepiece that embodies the rich heritage of Rolex craftsmanship. Introduced in the late 1980s and produced until the mid-2000s, this GMT-Master II model features a striking blue and red "Pepsi" bezel, adding a touch of boldness to its classic design. Over the years, the watch has developed a charming patina on its bezel, a natural aging process that enhances its vintage appeal. The patina, often visible on the luminous markers and hands, speaks to the watch's history and the countless journeys it has witnessed. This subtle aging process adds character and uniqueness to each piece, making the Reference 16710 a sought-after collector's item for enthusiasts who appreciate both the functionality and the nostalgic beauty of a well-worn Rolex.
This example comes as a full set with box, papers, hang tag, wallet and booklets. The watch itself is in top retail ready condition, coming fresh from detail and a service overhaul. The case lugs are thick and even. The Pepsi insert shows excellent even fading giving the red portion a nice salmon tone. The dial is excellent with matching hands. The bracelet has solid end links and is fully linked containing all 13 of its inks and shows only very light stretch. Here is an excellent and complete example with a great look.
