Rolex GMT-Master II „Batman“ - Ref. 116710BLNR
The revolution in blue and black
The introduction of the Reference 116710BLNR was a horological sensation: it was the world's first bezel made from a single piece of ceramic in two colors. Rolex succeeded in making the extremely hard Cerachromium from black to blue in a patented process to intuitively depict day and night. This example from 2014 represents the early phase of this modern icon. The Oystersteel-The case in the striking super-case design is in absolute perfection thanks to its unworn condition - the polished center links of the Oyster bracelet and the flanks are free of any micro-swirls. The dial with Chromalight-indices provides the characteristic blue afterglow, matching the GMT hand.
Caliber & collector relevance
The proven manufacture caliber sets the pace 3186, equipped with the blue Parachrom coil spring for optimum magnetic field protection. Technically, it offers independent adjustment of the hour hand, essential for travelers. What elevates this offering into the „investment grade“ category, however, is the combination of factors: a first-generation „Batman“ (pre-jubilee era), delivered as a coveted LC100 (Germany) and has been kept untouched in a safe since 2014. Such a full set in mint condition is a rarity on the current market and offers purist Rolex DNA for collectors who do not compromise on condition.
