GMT-Master II 16760 Fat Lady - Coke - Full Set - 1984

Rolex GMT-Master II 16760 Fat Lady - Coke - Full Set (1984)

The reference 16760, nicknamed "Fat Lady" and "Sophia Loren" for its thicker case, was the very first true GMT-Master II - the model that introduced an independently adjustable 24-hour hand via the new Caliber 3085. This 1984 example wears its four decades honestly, with a patinated dial and warm cream tritium plots that only a genuine vintage Coke can deliver.
