Rolex GMT-Master II 40mm Yellow Gold 1991 for Sale

Rolex GMT-Master II 40mm Yellow Gold 1991, available to buy now. The GMT-Master II tracks a second time zone on a 24-hour bezel, a design that began as a tool for Pan Am flight crews.

The case measures 40mm in yellow gold, on a leather bracelet. The movement is automatic, wound by the motion of the wrist.

A date display is set into the dial. Production dates to 1991. In 1954, Rolex released the first GMT-Master with a simultaneous display of two different time zones, which became an instant success with pilots worldwide. In 2005, Rolex upgraded the GMT-Master to GMT-Master II . Rolex does not publish production figures, does not discount, and allocates its steel sport models years behind demand. That structure is most of why the secondary market prices the way it does.

Condition is stated as Pre-owned. It is accompanied by Rolex box and papers.

Buying this Rolex GMT-Master II 16718

Above all, we hold one Rolex GMT-Master II 16718 rather than a restockable line. Therefore the watch in the gallery is the watch that ships to you. For example, we photograph the caseback and the clasp, not only the dial. Meanwhile, you can weigh it against Rolex Submariner 40mm Yellow Gold Stainless Steel 2007, or against Rolex President Day-Date 40mm Yellow Gold. Similarly, the rest of our Rolex watches and the wider watch collection move every week.

How we authenticate and grade it

We authenticate every watch in house before listing it, so the grade above is ours rather than a consignor’s summary. However, condition language shifts from seller to seller, so we describe wear in plain words as well. Because sunlight fades a dial faster than wear does, store it out of direct light. In addition, how we authenticate sets out the process.

Shipping and import charges

We ship worldwide and insure every parcel, at no cost to you. However, import charges depend on where you live, so budget for them early. In short, the landed cost matters as much as the ticket price, and we set out the arithmetic in VAT, duty and the true landed cost. Meanwhile our Instagram shows what has just landed, and Facebook carries the same arrivals.
