1998 Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 Tritinova Dial with Papers

Sold

“Tritinova ”


Case: The excellent case has just returned from polishing showing sharp prominent bevels. The black and red bezel insert is also excellent showing some light wear. The red portion has faded to a light silvery red hue while the black portion remains largely unfaded. The original Rolex sticker is still in place on the caseback.

Dial: The glossy black transitional luminova dial is excellent showing little if any wear. The original factory hands are matching.

Bracelet: The 12 link Oyster bracelet is excellent showing only light stretch for its age. The clasp is stamped with a matching 1998 date code.

Accessories: Papers.

Notes: This dial is from the era Rolex was transitioning from tritium to luminova. It's widely thought that instead of Rolex throwing out the already produced dials marked "T Swiss- T<25" they instead just filled them with the new Luminova luminous material and sent them out to ADs.
