The 116713LN is the two-tone ceramic GMT-Master II of the six-digit era. It arrived at Baselworld 2006 as the second GMT-Master II to carry a Cerachrom bezel, a year behind the solid yellow-gold [[Reference:116718LN|116718LN]], and the first of the pair to put steel in the case. Rolex ran the new bezel on precious metal before it ran on a sports-steel watch, and the all-steel [[Reference:116710LN|116710LN]] did not arrive until 2007. The Rolesor then held its position in the line alongside the steel version for the next decade, until the 2019 generation change.

The case is the Maxi-case geometry shared across the Cerachrom-era GMT-Master II. Compared with the 16713, the crown guards are larger, the lugs are thicker, and the case sides are more squared. The 40mm footprint is unchanged, but the wrist presence is heavier. The dial carries correspondingly larger applied hour markers and a wider Mercedes handset, the configuration commonly called the Maxi dial.
