GMT-Master II 'Fat Lady'
Ref. 16760
The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16760, nicknamed the 'Fat Lady' or 'Sophia Loren,' is a historically significant watch introduced in 1983. It was the first GMT-Master II model and featured the Caliber 3085 movement, enabling an independent jumping hour hand for easy time-zone adjustments. Its thicker case, wider bezel, and red-and-black 'Coke' bezel insert make it a notable and collectible piece in Rolex's archives.
