== Movement notes ==

Caliber 3186 powered the 116713LN ~~through its entire production window~~. ~~This~~ is the ~~same~~ movement ~~Rolex had introduced on the yellow-gold [[Reference:116718LN|116718LN]] at Baselworld 2005, brought into the Rolesor line a year later. Its defining feature~~ is the ~~blue Parachrom hairspring, introduced elsewhere in the Rolex catalogue earlier in the 2000s and carried onto the GMT-Master II through~~ the ceramic-era references. The 3186 also moved the GMT wheel to the revised design that cleaned up quickset date and independent-hour-hand behaviour, and it remained the reference movement for the line until caliber 3285 replaced it on the 2018 launches.

Caliber 3186 powered the 116713LN throughout. The practical point is that the movement story is stable here; the watch changes less inside its run than the steel ceramic siblings collectors argue over.

The 3186 ran at 28,800 vph with a 50-hour power reserve. Caliber 3285, which superseded it on the ceramic Rootbeer pair in 2018, moved the reserve to 70 hours and added the Chronergy escapement. The 116713LN never received the 3285, which keeps its movement generation clean.

== Historical market and auction record ==

Auction-house coverage is ~~relatively~~ thin for the 116713LN, in line with the reference’s status as an active-production watch through most of its life. Sotheby’s documented the reference with both a 2014 direct-sale listing and a broader direct-sale page covering the configuration. Bonhams catalogued a 2017 example in its Fine Watches sale, with retail provenance documented. The secondary market treats the ~~116713LN as a discontinued fixed-supply~~ reference ~~with a defined pricing band, distinct from the price trajectory of the steel ceramic siblings~~. ~~The overall market picture~~ is a steady dealer-~~led presence~~ rather than a headline auction ~~reference, which suits the watch’s role as the long-running Rolesor member of the Cerachrom family~~.

Auction-house coverage is thin for the 116713LN, which fits the reference. This is a steady dealer-market watch rather than a headline auction object.
