Pre‑Owned Rolex GMT-Master II "Batman" 116710BLNR 2015 Stickered watch

Pre-Owned Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman” – Ref. 116710BLNR (2015)

Fully Stickered • Oyster Bracelet • Full Set
Stock Code: YUKHCW
Store Location: GA Jewellers, Brighton Lanes

The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710BLNR, known worldwide as the “Batman”, is one of the defining modern Rolex sports references. Introduced in 2013 as the first GMT-Master II to feature a bi-colour Cerachrom bezel in black and blue, it marked a significant moment in Rolex’s ceramic era.

This 2015 example is presented in like-new condition and remains fully stickered, an increasingly rare and highly desirable attribute for collectors seeking originality. Supplied as a full set with original box and papers, it offers exceptional presentation and completeness.

The watch features a 40mm Oystersteel case paired with the classic Oyster bracelet, giving it a strong, sport-led aesthetic distinct from the later Jubilee reissue. The black dial is fitted with 18ct white gold hour markers in round, baton and arrow formats, all filled with Chromalight for long-lasting legibility.

At its core is the dependable Rolex Calibre 3186, offering independent local hour adjustment and robust performance suited to frequent travel. With 100m water resistance, a Triplock screw-down crown, and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the 116710BLNR remains both practical and highly wearable.

Discontinued in 2019, the Oyster-bracelet “Batman” occupies a significant place within the GMT lineage — particularly as the original ceramic BLNR configuration.

Market Position & Long-Term Appeal

Since its discontinuation, the 116710BLNR has remained one of the most consistently traded and sought-after modern Rolex sports models. The Oyster-bracelet version holds particular appeal due to its shorter production window and distinction from the current Jubilee configuration.

Well-preserved examples with full sets — and especially those retaining factory stickers — are increasingly difficult to source. As a result, they are often favoured by collectors seeking pieces with strong long-term desirability and liquidity within the pre-owned market.

While no timepiece should be viewed as a guarantee, references such as the 116710BLNR have demonstrated sustained secondary-market resilience and continue to form a cornerstone of serious modern Rolex collections.
