Notes

Launched in 1989, the 16700 was made during a period of 11 years. Considered the successor of reference 16760, this example was made in 1997 and is considered the last of the Tritium dials as the luminous were changed to Luminova starting in 1998. Collectors also have started collected these “young timers” as it is also considered the last of the GMT-Master reference as the transition to the Gmt-Master II was taking place. Kept in very good condition and a great daily wearable watch, the bezel has also faded to a very attractive light pink color giving it already a vintage look.
