For sale is a Rolex GMT Master II 40mm in Steel & Gold Ref. 16713, commonly referred to as the "Rootbeer”.
It gets its nickname from the distinctive two-tone bezel that features a combination of brown and gold colors. This color scheme is reminiscent of the rich brown tones of root beer soda, hence the playful nickname "Rootbeer."

The most distinctive feature of the 16713 is its bi-coloured brown and gold bezel, paired with the beautiful brown sunburst dial and gold accents. This color palette gives the watch a warm, vintage feel, which is a nice change from the more common black dials typically seen on other GMTs.
The GMT-Master II 16713 is powered by the Rolex Caliber 3185 movement, which features a chronometer-certified automatic mechanism, an additional hour hand used to set the second time zone and a quickset date function.
The 16713 offers the combination of practicality, luxury, and distinctive design. Its bi-metal construction and the unique "Rootbeer" bezel make it stand out from other Rolex models, while the GMT function appeals to both frequent travelers and watch enthusiasts.
