The sparkling 36 diamonds and 12 black sapphires on the bezel as well as 76 brillant-cut diamonds ornamenting the case and the crown guards create a truly resplended effect and ensure that this magnificent luxury version of the classic GMT-Master II will always stand out among its peers. Even though it is probably not to be recommended to use this timepiece as a pilot's watch, the bidirectional bezel still retains its functionality. The specific 24h indication is indicated by black sapphires. Corresponding to the bezel design of the GMT-Master II there is also a triangle-cut diamond at 12 o’clock.
This rare timepiece comes from the original owner and has never been offered at auction before.


The jewelled sports models are among the rarest and most sought-after watches Rolex has ever produced.
