ROLEX | GMT-MASTER II, REFERENCE 116759 SARU A WHITE GOLD DIAMOND, SAPPHIRE AND RUBY-SET DUAL TIME ZONE WRISTWATCH WITH DATE AND BRACELET, CIRCA 2009" | 勞力士 | GMT-Master II 型號116759 SARU 白金鑲鑽石、藍寶石及紅寶石兩地時間鏈帶腕錶，備日期顯示，錶殼編號V743389，約2009年製"

Rolex first launched these exceptional, white gold and gemstone-set versions of the iconic GMT-Master II in 2007. Three extravagant versions of this reference could be found. The 116759 SANR with diamonds and black sapphires, the 116759 SARU with diamonds, sapphires and rubies and the 116759 SA with diamonds and blue sapphires.

Instead of a stainless steel Oyster case and the standard Cerachrom bezel of the reference 11670, the present lot is entirely made of 18k white gold. The top of the lugs is adorned with diamonds and in addition, the watch has been given the distinctive feature of a diamond and blue sapphire-set rotating bezel. The timepiece is reminiscent of the iconic GMT models of the past and is clearly a descendant to the flamboyant SARU models that bursted onto the scene in the 1980's, arguably making this a future icon in its own right.
