CASE & BRACELET
The case of this Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 16760 has been previously polished but remains in excellent condition with factory chamfers still slightly present. The original red and black "coke" insert has achieved a beautiful patina, with the black fading to an interesting "navy blue" coloration. The 62510H jubilee bracelet w/502 end pieces shows little wear and some stretch from use.
