Catalogue EssayRolex’s GMT-Master was one of the most revolutionary timepieces available when it was first released in 1954. Introduced at the dawn of the “Jet Age” and developed in collaboration with Pan-Am airlines, it featured a historic innovation that permitted travelers to simultaneously tell time at both their “home” and “local” destination. The model is so cherished by watch collectors and enthusiasts that sixty-six years after it was first introduced, it remains one of the brand’s top selling wristwatches. The GMT-Master evolved over the decades with several design changes. A major upgrade came with the introduction of the GMT-Master II in 1982, employing for the first time a quick-set hour hand that could easily be moved forwards and backwards. The present Rolex GMT-Master II reference 16713 was produced alongside its stainless steel counterpart reference 16710 from the end of the 1980’s up to the early 2000’s. The attractive silvered dial is set with 8 diamond indexes and 3 rubies giving the watch its nickname “Sultan”. Powering the watch is the Rolex caliber 3185 offering a hacking second feature and the ability to set the hour hand independently from the GMT hand for easy time adjustments.Read MoreMaker BiographyRolexSwiss • 1905 Follow Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.View More Works
