About this watch

One of the most iconic two-tone sports watches ever produced, the Rolex GMT-Master 16753 “Root Beer” combines vintage charm, unmistakable aesthetics, and everyday functionality into a reference that has become increasingly sought after by collectors.

Featuring the signature brown dial, matching brown and gold bezel insert, and stainless steel and 18k yellow gold construction, the Root Beer offers a warm and distinctive appearance unlike any other GMT-Master reference. Originally designed for international travelers, the GMT-Master allows the wearer to track multiple time zones while maintaining the rugged durability that helped establish Rolex’s reputation for professional tool watches.

Accompanied by a Rolex Service Center card from 2018, this example benefits from documented Rolex service history while retaining the character and appeal that make vintage Root Beer references so desirable.
