Yellow Gold Rolex GMT Master II 50th Anniversary Celebration Model with Green Dial


...Rolex Discontinued Beauty...

Yellow Gold Rolex GMT Master II

50th Anniversary Celebration Model with Green Dial
Reference 116718LN

It's hard to believe this watch is now considered vintage as Rolex discontinued one of my favorite models back in April of 2019 which is the yellow gold Rolex GMT-Master II with green dial as seen bellow.

Rolex introduced this stunning beauty nineteen years ago in 2005, on the 50th anniversary of the GMT model, and they gave it an unusual forest green dial. Over the years I have seen this watch in person and it is a truly magnificent looking Rolex watch. The watch is just striking in person, and the forest green dial for some reason kind of reminds me of a pool table. 

Examining the up-close macro dial shot of this beauty really allows you appreciate how elegant, precise, iconic and timeless Rolex design language is...just stunning!!! When Rolex discontinues models, often times we see them go up in value and I think this model will likely follow that trend.
