Lot Essay

The present watch, affectionately known by collectors as the 'Batgirl' due to its unique blue and black bezel, has grown to be one of the mainstays of modern Rolex sports watch collecting. Its playful appellation is derived from the contrast between the bezel's color. The vibrant Cerachrom bezel and the elegant Jubilee bracelet, distinguishes it from its sibling, the so-called 'Batman', which is paired with an Oyster bracelet.

As the first GMT-Master with a blue and black bezel, the Rolex GMT-Master II reference 116710BLNR, which debuted at Baselworld in 2013, represented a significant milestone for the collection. This eye-catching bi-color Cerachrom insert is the product of an extremely intricate and patented manufacturing process that starts with a single piece of blue ceramic and adds black to create a smooth and long-lasting two-tone effect. The model was updated and reintroduced as the current reference 126710BLNR in 2019, solidifying its position as one of the most sought-after contemporary GMT-Master II references.
