A collector’s dream - a "Full Set" in magnificent condition.
The GMT-Master II reference 16760 was produced from 1983 to 1988. The model featured a so-called "Coke" bezel, which takes its name from the black and red colour - in contrast to the red and blue "Pepsi" bezel. As the case of the watch was a millimetre larger than that of its predecessor and the watch itself looked more sturdy in general, it was nicknamed the "Fat Lady".
