	The 116710LN is the watch that moved the steel GMT-Master II into the ceramic era. It replaced the aluminium-bezel 16710 in 2007 with a black Cerachrom insert, a widened Super Case, and the caliber 3186 architecture that had already reached the last of the 16710s. The "LN" suffix denotes that black-bezel configuration, and Monochrome's period coverage used the full lunette noire as shorthand for the watch.

	The 116710LN sits between two eras of the steel GMT-Master II. Upstream, it replaces the aluminium-bezel 16710, the long-running neo-vintage reference. Downstream, it is the final single-colour black-ceramic steel GMT-Master II before the 126710 generation arrives with a narrower case, a Jubilee-bracelet option, and caliber 3285. Fratello reads it as the last all-black-bezel steel GMT-Master II, which is the cleanest placement inside the family arc.		The 116710LN sits between two eras of the steel GMT-Master II.

	The auction record is limited but not empty. Phillips catalogued a 116710LN engraved "TO ERIC SO MANY THANKS PAUL 2009" at the Hong Kong Watch Auction XVII, a piece gifted to Eric Clapton by Paul Stewart. The engraving puts a rare celebrity-provenance anchor on a reference whose major-house lot history is otherwise sparse. Sotheby's and Bonhams carry the Khanjar and Sea King institutional-commission examples described above.		The auction record is limited but not empty.

	Secondary-market pricing since discontinuation sits below the Batman sibling. Fratello's 2021 comparison against the 126710GRNR uses the 116710LN's last-all-black-bezel position to anchor its market identity. Late-production full-set lots at the major auction houses remain scarce, and 2019 final-year examples have so far surfaced primarily through the secondary market rather than catalog auctions.

	A two-tone sibling sits alongside it. ~~Rolex launched~~ the [[Reference:116713LN\|116713LN]] ~~a year earlier~~ in 2006 ~~as the first GMT-Master II with a Cerachrom bezel~~, and the steel-only 116710LN ~~followed~~ in 2007. ~~Both~~ carry the same bezel language and the same movement architecture.		A two-tone sibling sits alongside it. Cerachrom reached the GMT-Master II in three steps: the solid yellow-gold [[Reference:116718LN\|116718LN]] in 2005, the Rolesor [[Reference:116713LN\|116713LN]] in 2006, and the steel-only 116710LN in 2007. All three carry the same bezel language and the same movement architecture.
