The Rolex GMT-Master 16700 is a notable transitional model in the GMT-Master lineage, serving as the last iteration before Rolex fully transitioned to the GMT-Master II collection. It is celebrated for its classic design, including the iconic 'Pepsi' bezel, and introduced modern upgrades like a sapphire crystal and white gold accents on the dial while retaining a vintage aesthetic.
