Making its debut at Baselworld 2007, Rolex released the GMT-Master II ref. 116710LN featuring a black Cerachrom bezel and it was the first GMT-Master model to feature the new upgrade. In addition, the reference also featured a newly designed Oyster case and bracelet. The ref. 1176170LN is still till date the only GMT-Master reference to feature a green 24-Hour hand and its model name inscribed with the same colour. The reference was discontinued in 2018 making way for the new ref. 126710BLRO. The present Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 116710LN from circa 2015 is certainly not the usual example. Featuring an engraved caseback of the “Khanjar”, the present example was commissioned by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos. Very well-preserved with all its factory protective stickers intact, the present “New Old Stock” example is complete with its original guarantee stamped by Khimji Ramdas which has been the official retailer of Rolex in Muscat, Oman since the 1960’s.
