Rolex GMT-Master II 16713 – Two-Tone Steel & 18k Gold Bronze Dial “Root Beer”

The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16713 with the bronze “Root Beer” dial is one of the most iconic and collectible two-tone GMT models ever produced. Known for its warm, striking dial color and distinctive gold accents, this configuration stands out from the traditional black or Pepsi GMT styles—making it a favorite among collectors seeking something unique yet timeless.

Crafted from a combination of stainless steel and 18k yellow gold, the 16713 retains its professional pilot-watch functionality while adding a luxurious and vintage-inspired aesthetic. The bronze sunburst dial shifts beautifully in the light, complemented by luminous hour markers, gold-trimmed hands, and the signature GMT hand for tracking a second time zone.

With its powerful presence, reliable automatic movement, and growing desirability in the collector market, the 16713 “Root Beer” remains a standout classic that continues to appreciate in value.
