Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16710 Rare STICK DIAL FULL SET
A late-production Rolex GMT-Master II Reference 16710 (D-Serial, circa 2005) remaining in a true "time capsule" state, combining two of the most coveted attributes a collector can find in a single example: the exceptionally rare Stick Dial variation and the original green Rolex factory caseback sticker still intact. This is not a standard full set; it is a watch that has survived in a condition indistinguishable from the day it left the authorized dealer.
The Stick Dial is one of the most discussed variations among GMT-Master II 16710 collectors. The distinction is subtle but definitive: on standard dials, the Roman numeral "II" in the text GMT-MASTER II features prominent crossbars (serifs); on the Stick Dial, the same "II" is rendered as two simple vertical lines, without serifs. This typographical difference, produced during a limited window of late manufacture, significantly elevates the desirability and secondary market value of the reference. Combined with the intact green factory sticker on the caseback and the complete, unplayed-with set of accessories, this example represents a benchmark specimen for the 16710 reference.
