The Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 16710 “Coke” is one of the most collectible and versatile modern vintage Rolex sports watches. Produced during the late 1980s through the 2000s, this 2002 example features the iconic black and red aluminium bezel insert that earned the nickname “Coke” among collectors.
Originally designed for professional airline pilots and international travellers, the GMT-Master II allows tracking of multiple time zones through its independently adjustable GMT hand and bidirectional 24-hour bezel. The black dial with luminous hour markers provides excellent legibility, while the 40mm Oystersteel case retains the slimmer, more elegant proportions of pre-ceramic Rolex sports models. Inside, it is powered by the Rolex Calibre 3185 automatic movement, renowned for reliability and smooth GMT functionality. The aluminium bezel insert is a major part of this reference’s charm, developing subtle aging and patina over time that ceramic models cannot replicate.
Piece comes with service box and papers from the brand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Rolex watches a good investment?
Yes — Rolex watches consistently appreciate in value due to limited production, iconic design, and global collector demand. Every pre-owned Rolex from Watch Channel is carefully authenticated, ensuring you’re investing in a timepiece that holds both prestige and resale potential.
How does Watch Channel verify Rolex authenticity?
Each Rolex undergoes a comprehensive inspection by our horology experts — covering serial numbers, movement calibration, crown etchings, and bracelet links. Only watches passing every authenticity checkpoint are listed for sale.
Why are Rolex watches so expensive?
Rolex maintains exceptional standards in in-house manufacturing — from proprietary steel alloys to precision-tested movements. Even pre-owned models retain value because of their craftsmanship and unmatched brand reputation.
How often should I service a Rolex?
Servicing every 5–7 years is recommended. Our team at Watch Channel can advise on model-specific maintenance schedules to preserve the watch’s accuracy and waterproofing.
Can I swim with my Rolex?
Certain models like the Submariner or Sea-Dweller are designed for water exposure. However, water resistance can diminish over time, so it’s wise to test seals periodically, especially for vintage or pre-owned pieces.
