SIGNED ROLEX, GMT-MASTER II MODEL, REF. 126710BLNR, CIRCA 2020

Affectionately called 'Batman' by collectors due to the unique color combination of the bezel, this timepiece is highly sought after and has become a cornerstone of contemporary Rolex sports watches. The difference between this timepiece and its counterpart, the 'Batgirl', lies in the pairing of an Oyster and Jubilee bracelet.

Introduced at Baselworld in 2013, the Rolex GMT Master II reference 116710BLNR is the first GMT-Master to be crafted with the blue and black color combination on its bezel. A highly complicated piece to manufacture, the creation process for this Cerachrom bezel is patented and results from a singular piece of blue ceramic, with the black color later applied to provide this two-tone effect. The model was updated in 2019 with the present reference 126710BLNR.
