Rolex Ref. 16700 Master GMT "Pepsi"

Story

A 1990 Rolex Master GMT in excellent condition, with the iconic blue-and-red bezel

This Rolex Master GMT 16700 was made in 1990, and the folks at Fog City Vintage have done an incredible job sourcing, authenticating, and representing its condition. The stainless-steel case and iconic blue-and-red bezel maintain the unmistakable style of this classic pilot’s watch. The combo of a bold black dial and striking red-and-blue “Pepsi” bezel maintain Rolex’s signature sporty-yet-sophisticated style, while the original tritium hands and indices have aged to a handsome ivory. The crystal has a small abrasion on the rim between the 12 and 1 markers, but other than that, this watch is in excellent used condition. Whether you’re dipping your toe in the world of Rolexes or are a fully-immersed collector, you can’t go wrong with this iconic timepiece.
