Catalogue Note

The first reference of the GMT-Master II series, the 16760, was dubbed the 'Fat Lady' by collectors due to its new case design being somewhat larger than on previous models, also featuring a wider bezel and bigger crown guards. What also sets this reference apart from its predecessors is the black and red 'Coke' bezel which replaced the previous blue and red 'Pepsi' one.
