Introduced for travellers and professionals who required greater functionality across time zones, the Fat Lady GMT-Master II represented a significant evolution from the original GMT-Master.
It was the first GMT to feature an independently adjustable local hour hand, allowing the wearer to change time zones in one-hour increments without stopping the movement or disrupting the accuracy of the minutes and seconds. This innovation greatly improved everyday usability and set the foundation for all modern GMT-Master II models.
Combined with its relatively short production run and instantly recognisable thicker case profile and bold bezel design, the Fat Lady has developed a strong identity of its own. As a result, it has become increasingly desirable among UK collectors, who value both its historical importance within the Rolex lineup and its growing scarcity on the vintage market.
