1991 Rolex GMT-Master II 16713 - Two-Tone Rootbeer Dial

Trade In
Details
The Unmistakable Two-Tone GMT
The reference 16713 "Rootbeer" holds a special place in the GMT-Master lineage. It represents a distinct era of watch design, combining the utility of a pilot's watch with the unapologetic flash of two-tone steel and yellow gold. The brown and gold bezel, paired with a rich brown dial, creates a warm and instantly recognizable aesthetic that stands apart from the more common "Pepsi" or "Coke" configurations. This is the GMT for someone who appreciates a blend of professional functionality and 1990s confidence.
A Numbers-Matching Example
This example from 1991 is a numbers-matching set, which is a key detail for collectors seeking originality. The watch presents as a cohesive piece from its original production year. Its two-tone Oyster bracelet is the correct match for the watch, tying together the complete Rootbeer aesthetic as it was intended.
Honest And Well Maintained
This watch is in very good condition. The case retains a strong profile, and the dial and hands are well-preserved. Its two-tone Oyster bracelet is a matching set and shows only light sag, which is excellent for a watch of this age and speaks to careful ownership. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
A Confident Daily Wear
The GMT-Master II has always been one of Rolex's most capable watches, and this 16713 is no exception. It offers the practicality of a dual-time zone function within a package that has significantly more personality than its all-steel counterparts. This is a watch for someone who wants the reliability of a five-digit Rolex but prefers a colorway that is both unique and historically significant. It works just as well today as it did three decades ago.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
