The Rolex GMT-Master II 116718 in 18K yellow gold with a diamond-set dial represents the brand’s ultimate interpretation of the “luxury tool watch” concept. Based on the professional GMT-Master II series designed for cross-time-zone travel, it transcends its utilitarian origins through an all-18K gold case and dazzling diamonds, elevating it to a symbol of wealth and status. Crafted for connoisseurs and collectors who crave ultimate brilliance and desire to be the center of attention in any setting, this timepiece proclaims unparalleled confidence and success.

The most striking feature of this timepiece lies in its bold and opulent aesthetic combination. Entirely crafted from precious 18K gold, from the case and crown to the Oyster bracelet, it radiates a dazzling and timeless golden luster. Complementing this is the iconic green Cerachrom ceramic bezel, where the vivid green hue creates a bold and captivating contrast against the gold. The dial features a diamond-set design, with diamond hour markers replacing traditional rectangular indices. These diamonds sparkle brilliantly against either a black or champagne-colored dial, seamlessly blending practical functionality with high-end jewelry craftsmanship.

Beneath its dazzling exterior lies a time-tested, reliable movement—the self-winding Calibre 3186. As a classic movement, it incorporates Rolex’s patented Parachrom hairspring, effectively resisting shocks and magnetic interference to ensure precise and stable dual-time zone functionality. While its power reserve (approximately 48 hours) falls slightly short of the newer 32-series movements, its exceptional reliability and accuracy are unquestionable, fully meeting the demands of global travelers and demonstrating the robust watchmaking expertise behind its luxury.

The watch’s overall design language is one of uncompromising boldness and cohesion. To maintain its pure, luxurious aesthetic, it comes standard with an 18K gold Oyster bracelet featuring three-piece links perfectly matching the case. From the lugs to the clasp, it presents a seamless sense of weight and visual impact. Worn on the wrist, it transcends mere timekeeping to become a substantial gold bracelet of remarkable presence, silently conveying the wearer’s exceptional taste and formidable stature.

The Rolex GMT-Master II 116718 in gold with diamonds represents an iconic masterpiece that pushes professional functionality, precious metals, and jewel-setting to their ultimate expression. It masterfully fuses the GMT-Master’s athletic heritage with evening-worthy opulence. Amidst the current trend of understated sports watches, its bold, flamboyant design makes it a uniquely distinctive treasure in the collector’s market—a true “shining star” within the Rolex universe.
