The Rolex GMT-Master II 116759SA, is a truly exceptional and high-jewelry iteration of the classic GMT-Master. While the reference 116759SA is originally adorned with diamonds and sapphires from Rolex, a watch "iced out" with moissanite would be a custom, aftermarket creation
The process of icing out a watch, whether with diamonds or moissanite, is a meticulous, handmade craft. It involves a master gem-setter who carefully drills tiny holes into the metal case, bezel, and bracelet. Each moissanite stone is then individually placed and secured by hand using small metal prongs, or "beads," raised from the surface. This technique, often called pavé setting, requires extreme precision to ensure the stones are perfectly aligned, uniformly spaced, and securely fastened, with minimal visible metal, to create a seamless, glittering surface. A single misplaced or improperly set stone can compromise the entire piece.
Beyond the custom gem-setting, the base watch, the Rolex GMT-Master II, is a hallmark of functionality and luxury. It is a 40mm watch designed for world travelers, featuring an independent 24-hour hand and a bidirectional rotatable bezel that allows the wearer to track three time zones simultaneously. The watch is powered by a Superlative Chronometer movement, ensuring exceptional precision and reliability.
