Rolex sports watches set with precious stones are amongst the rarest models created by the brand. Marrying the ultimate tier of luxury in case finishing with the most practical sports models, these pieces represent a contradiction of terms and are today as sought-after by collectors as they are scarcely produced by the brand. The present GMT-Master II SANR, referring to the black sapphire - SA(pphire) NR(noir) - setting, is distinguished by its unusual color scheme: the contrast of black sapphire with the white diamond provide an incredibly attractive final result, and - from a practical standpoint - is one of the most legible gem-set bezel configurations.

The quality of Rolex’s gem-setting is simply astounding: the baguette-cut gems (and the three triangular stones at 12 o’clock) are set with surgical precision with no visible gaps between them. They are perfectly complemented by the brilliant-cut diamonds on the crown guards, lugs and bracelet, ensuring a dazzling spectacle on the wrist.

The final result is nothing short of spectacular as Rolex has managed the feat of balancing the sporty ethos of the watch and its luxurious decoration.

This example is offered in excellent condition, complete of all its accessories and is a true must have for the collector of outstandingly rare and unusual Rolex wristwatches. Furthermore, it was recently (September 2019) serviced by Rolex and has never been worn since -it even retains the service stickers to the band - thus ensuring the perfect working condition of the piece which is in fact under Rolex warranty until September 16 of this current year 2021.
