1997 Rolex GMT-Master Pepsi (16700)

Make: Rolex Model: GMT-Master Year: 1997 Papers: Yes Box: Yes

Renowned for its timeless design and outstanding performance, this vintage Rolex GMT-Master has earned a special place in the hearts of collectors. It stands out as the first GMT-Master model to feature a sapphire crystal and a 24-hour hand that could be independently adjusted, simplifying the tracking of multiple time zones. The red and blue bezel, reminiscent of the soda brand logo, quickly earned it the affectionate nickname "Pepsi." Despite newer GMT-Master models being introduced, this timepiece retains its status as a beloved classic and holds its value well in the secondary market.

This timepiece is in very good condition showing little signs of wear. It presents minor scratches on the bezel, the more noticeable at 3 o'clock. It was serviced recently and comes with a 12-month warranty from the seller. All the parts are original including the dial, hands, bezel, and ghost insert. It has 12 links. It comes as a complete set that includes the original box, a red hangtag, and papers. 

 

 

Constructed from sturdy stainless steel, the versatile case of this timepiece measures 40mm and boasts a polished finish that exudes sophistication. The bi-directional rotatable steel bezel, engraved with a 24-hour grading scale, features a striking red and blue colorway that perfectly complements the classic black dial. The dial showcases large luminescent hour markers and hands, facilitating easy readability in low-light conditions, while a window date positioned at 3 o'clock is magnified by a Cyclops lens. With a Triplock winding crown, this watch is designed to provide a water-resistant seal of up to 100 meters, rendering it suitable for aquatic activities.

 

 

For optimal comfort and durability, this timepiece is equipped with a timeless stainless steel Oyster bracelet. The folding Oysterlock safety clasp, engraved with the emblematic Rolex Crown, adds an extra touch of sophistication to the design.

 

 

The Caliber 3175, a self-winding mechanical movement, drives this timepiece, delivering precise and dependable timekeeping with a power reserve of 48 hours.

 

 

The GMT-Master has exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail making it a true masterpiece of watchmaking. Don't hesitate and place a bid on this incredible vintage Rolex Pepsi to add it to your collection.
