2005 ROLEX GMT-Master II Pepsi 16710 Stainless Steel 40mm – BOX & BOOKLET

A Modern Classic With Vintage Soul

This 2005 Rolex GMT-Master II (Ref. 16710) bridges the gap between vintage charm and modern reliability. With its iconic red and blue aluminum bezel — known to collectors as the “Pepsi” — this piece captures the essence of a travel-ready tool watch, wrapped in a now-discontinued reference that’s only grown in demand. Slimmer than its ceramic successors and paired with the beloved Caliber 3185 movement, this one wears as well today as it did the day it left the factory.

Key Features:
• Iconic Pepsi aluminum bezel insert – vibrant and ready to age with character
• Caliber 3185 automatic GMT movement – trusted and tested
• 40mm case – thinner profile than modern variants, ideal for daily wear
• Bracelet replaced by Rolex in 2024 – documentation available for peace of mind

More Than Just a Watch
The 16710 is a fan favorite for good reason. It’s versatile, comfortable, and unmistakably Rolex. The aluminum bezel gives the watch warmth and character that ceramic can’t replicate — and over time, it develops a patina as unique as its wearer. This specific example, with its “D” serial pointing to 2005 production, hits a sweet spot for collectors looking to step into a neo-vintage Rolex. Whether you’re new to Rolex or adding a Pepsi to round out a collection, this GMT Master II is an undeniable icon — and an increasingly rare opportunity.

Condition:
The watch is running well and in overall excellent condition with little to no visible wear on the case and bracelet. More noticeable marks are present on the caseback and clasp edges. The stainless-steel bracelet was replaced by Rolex in 2024, and documentation is included. Additional pictures or videos available upon request.

Set Contents:
Includes inner and outer box with white sleeve, booklet, card holder, red tag, and Rolex-branded shopping bag. Note: warranty card/sheet not included.
