A specific configuration of a luxury wristwatch, this model combines the Rolex GMT-Master II functionality with the aesthetic appeal of yellow gold. It is characterized by its ability to display multiple time zones simultaneously, housed within a case and bracelet crafted from yellow gold. This precious metal construction distinguishes it from stainless steel or Rolesor (a combination of steel and gold) variants.
This particular timepiece holds significance due to its inherent value as a gold object, its sophisticated engineering allowing for tracking of different time zones, and its branding power attributable to Rolex’s reputation for precision and quality. Historically, the GMT-Master was developed in collaboration with Pan American Airways to aid pilots in tracking time across different geographical locations. The addition of yellow gold elevates the watch to a status symbol, reflecting both wealth and discerning taste.
