Rolex GMT Master Ice: The Most Expensive Rolex Watch to Date

Rolex GMT Master Ice

Ideally, no other watch brand has the prestige and reputation that Rolex possesses. While the brand manufactures watches that have an aura of grandeur and exclusivity, the term ‘Rolex’ has become synonymous with luxury and class. However, everybody is familiar with the brand’s classics like the Daytona or Submariner. But one of the most expensive watches of the brand is surprisingly not so famous. Now:

Are you wondering what the priciest Rolex watch is? Before you head out to ‘sell Rolex’ or ‘sell Rolex watches’, let’s today take a look at one of the first new timepieces to debut Rolex super case – Rolex GMT Master Ice ref. 116769TBR. 

Rolex GMT Master Ice

The Rolex GMT Master Ice is one of the most expensive watches that Rolex has ever produced. This men’s wristwatch is not only extravagant and rarer but also, looks visually appealing. Indeed, Rolex made the watch using some of the finest elements that include 18ct white gold and approximately 30carats of brilliant-cut diamonds covering its every inch. 

However, the brand did not stint on the main technological complications and precision of the watch for which Rolex is recognised and popular. The Rolex GMT Master Ice watch comes with an 18ct white gold case with 13mm thickness. Moreover, the Oyster case features a screw-down Triplock winding crown along with a screw-down case back that can combat water-pressure up to 330ft (100m). 

Rolex equipped the self-winding calibre 3186 automatic movement inside the waterproof case of Rolex GMT Master Ice ref. 116769TBR. Although the calibre 3186 is a self-winding movement, it offers a power reserve up to 50-hour. However, the dial sports a date aperture at 3 o’clock and a GMT black 24-hour hand that enables the user to set and see the second time zone. 

What Makes the Rolex GMT Master Ice so appealing?

The brilliant-cut diamonds adorning the dial, bezel, bracelet and case make the Rolex GMT Master Ice visually very alluring. While the 18ct white gold case and lugs are embellished with seventy-nine round diamonds, the 18ct white gold bezel is set with baguette-cut diamonds. One of the most striking features is the dial, featuring waves of small diamonds that flow on the face of the dial. 

To finish the look, the watch is fitted with a matching Oyster lock bracelet in 18ct white gold, entirely covered with diamonds. Moreover, the centre links are adorned with baguette-cut diamonds; whereas the links on both the side of the central link are set with round brilliant-cut diamonds. 

The Rolex GMT Master Ice ref 116769TBR meets the stringent standards of Rolex, known for its precision and advanced features such as a waterproof case and a date aperture.
