1995 Charm - Hard to find "perfect" faded patina

This 1995 Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” (Ref. 16710) embodies the character and patina that vintage collectors love. Featuring a beautifully faded red and blue aluminum bezel insert, this piece has aged into a unique, soft-toned palette — often referred to as the "Papst" fade — giving it unmistakable vintage appeal.

The 40mm stainless steel case houses the original black dial, complete with luminous hour markers and Mercedes-style hands, including the classic red GMT hand for tracking a second time zone. Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3185 automatic movement, this GMT delivers reliable performance backed by COSC chronometer certification.

It’s paired with a period-correct stainless steel Oyster bracelet with folding clasp, maintaining the watch’s original tool-watch integrity. With its 100m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and enduring design, this model strikes the perfect balance between everyday wearability and collectible vintage Rolex heritage.
