A subtle blend of modern navigational instrument and horological jewelry, this Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116718LN in 18k yellow gold (full set 2018) exemplifies the manufacture's vision: professional functionality, assertive luxury, and enduring heritage. Presented in a highly sought-after all-gold configuration with a black Cerachrom bezel, it represents a rare opportunity for anyone wishing to purchase an iconic luxury timepiece in excellent condition, immediately available in Geneva.
The 40 mm Oyster case, sculpted from 18 ct yellow gold, radiates a luminous warmth that is enhanced by the deep contrast of the lacquered black dial. Large applied gold hour markers treated with luminescent material ensure clear legibility in any lighting, while the green GMT hand adds a discreet yet distinctive color signature. The monobloc black Cerachrom bezel, virtually scratch- and UV-resistant, features a 24-hour scale with engraved and then metallized gold graduations, combining technical prominence with refined elegance. The solid-link Oyster bracelet in yellow gold, secured by a secure Oysterlock clasp, distributes weight perfectly for a stable and comfortable fit. Alternating polished and satin finishes, masterful proportions, and functional coherence: the whole embodies the archetype of the versatile, prestigious sports watch.
At the heart of this timepiece lies the in-house, self-winding caliber 3186, featuring a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring and an architecture designed for stable timekeeping in diverse environments. A certified chronometer, it offers rigorous precision and approximately 48 hours of power reserve. The true GMT function allows for independent setting of local time from the 24-hour hand without stopping the watch, thus preserving accuracy. A quick-jump date, 100-meter Oyster water resistance (with a screw-down Triplock crown), robust construction, and a bidirectional graduated bezel complete a package designed to accompany the modern traveler between time zones, meetings, and weekends.
Among the GMT-Master II models, the all-gold 116718LN with a black bezel occupies a unique position: a monolithic aesthetic, a luxurious presence without the more publicized two-tone effect, and relative rarity on the secondary market since the range's evolution. It combines heritage (a line born from intercontinental aviation) and assertive status, while remaining understated enough to transition seamlessly from a suit to casual attire. For the collector, its positioning represents a key link between historical steel-and-gold references and more colorful contemporary variations. For the discerning investor, the combination of a full 2018 set, meticulous condition, and sought-after configuration enhances its heritage appeal.
