	Black was a standard option throughout production: glossy black lacquer under a yellow-gold coronet, with applied gold nipple markers early and applied indices with yellow-gold surrounds later. It pairs most often with the all-black 24-hour insert, though black-and-gold "Rootbeer" inserts also surface on the black-dial branch. Black is more common than its reputation suggests, and Rolex gave it the most space in period catalog imagery.

	The 16713 is the two-tone Rolesor branch of the [[Reference:16710\|16710]] generation, built on a steel mid-case with a yellow-gold bezel ring, crown, and outer bracelet links, and running the GMT-Master II independent-hour movement underneath. Production runs 1989 through approximately 2006, with the ceramic 116713LN replacing it at Baselworld 2007. Brown sunburst nipple "Root Beer" and glossy black are the two dials that carry the reference; a champagne serti, a slate serti that lasted about a year, and a silvered Sultan gem-set example fill out the rest. The bezel comes two ways across the entire run, brown-and-cream Rootbeer or all-black aluminium. Coke and Pepsi inserts are 16710 territory.

	The 16713 belongs to the [[Reference:16710\|16710]] generation. It replaced the [[Reference:16753\|16753]] Root Beer and inherited its brown-and-gold colourway, ~~but none of that reference's caller-GMT hand-setting logic came~~ with ~~it. Underneath is~~ a ~~full~~ GMT-Master II movement ~~with an independently adjustable~~ local-hour hand~~. The common mistake is reading the 16713 as a 16753 update; it is closer to a Rolesor 16710 wearing a different bezel-and-dial palette~~.		The 16713 belongs to the [[Reference:16710\|16710]] generation. It replaced the [[Reference:16753\|16753]] Root Beer and inherited its brown-and-gold colourway, with a GMT-Master II movement that allows independent adjustment of the local-hour hand.

	The 16753 ran from 1981 to 1988 on caliber 3075, its local hour tied to the 24-hour hand in the synchronized manner of the original GMT-Master line. The 16713 ran from 1989 to about 2006 on caliber 3185, and with the flyer mechanic came the larger sapphire-crystal Oyster case. Its sisters in the generation are the all-yellow-gold 16718 and the steel 16710. The ceramic 116713LN takes the catalog slot from 2007, bringing a Cerachrom bezel, Maxi dial, Super Case, and solid-centre-link Oyster bracelet.

	~~Launch year is uncontested at~~ 1989. The 16713 entered the catalog as the two-tone partner to the new flyer-GMT 16710, retiring the 16753 Rootbeer. ~~The~~ end ~~year is messier across the literature~~. A "2003" date sometimes surfaces and does not survive scrutiny; it traces to the introduction of the laser-etched crystal coronet, not to discontinuation. The 2005–2006 reading has the movement history behind it, since caliber 3185 itself ran from 1988 to approximately 2005 before the 3186 replaced it, and 2006 is the year most often given as the last of production. The 2007 reading lines up with the Baselworld launch of the 116713LN ceramic successor, and carry-over inventory may well have shipped into 2007 even if the last watches were built in 2006.

	The weight of the evidence puts final production in 2006, with the 116713LN taking the catalog slot for 2007. Sotheby's catalog entries top out at 2005 watches, and the cal 3186 Parachrom upgrade lands right around 2006.

	The 16713 trades mostly on the dealer market rather than at major auction. Christie's and Antiquorum carry nothing for the reference in their public catalogs, and Sotheby's does not publish its realised prices, which leaves the 2022 Phillips Hong Kong sale ~~as the cleanest~~ public result. Standard configurations cluster between USD 6,000 and 12,000 depending on dial originality, paperwork, and case condition. Sultan and slate-serti gem-set examples sit above that band. A documented Tiger's Eye pattern on an unrestored brown sunburst carries a real premium.		The 2022 Phillips Hong Kong sale provides a public auction result for the reference.
