	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.

	The [[Reference:116710LN\|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 late-run caliber 3186 architecture that had already entered the reference 16710 at the end of its life. For most of its twelve-year run it carried the "Lunette Noire" shorthand that Monochrome used in period press, and the "LN" suffix on the ~~dial signals exactly~~ that.		The [[Reference:116710LN\|116710LN]] is the watch that moved the steel GMT-Master II into the ceramic era.

For most of its twelve-year run it carried the "Lunette Noire" shorthand that Monochrome used in period press, and the "LN" suffix in the reference denotes that black-bezel configuration.

	The Batman followed in 2013 and the ceramic Pepsi 126710BLRO arrived later in a narrower case generation, and the 116710LN spent most of its run in their shadow. Auction-record depth is thin relative to those flanking references, though the watch carries genuine collector substance on its own terms.

	The 116710LN has one cataloged dial configuration: glossy black with a green "GMT-Master II" signature line and a green 24-hour hand. The green signature line is the identifying mark. The Batman deletes that line and runs a blue 24-hour hand instead.

The Batman deletes that line and runs a blue 24-hour hand instead.

	~~The dial carries Chromalight lume from launch.~~ Rolex rolled ~~the~~ blue-emitting Chromalight compound across ~~its~~ Super Case sports references ~~in the late 2000s~~, and the 116710LN ~~had~~ it ~~from day one~~. Collectors read Chromalight as the modern dividing line between the 16710's tritium / Luminova / Super-Luminova history and the ceramic generation that followed. Patina is not part of the 116710LN conversation the way it is on a 1998 T<25 16710. Chromalight plots on a ~~2008~~ example look the same as on a 2018 example.		Early examples carry Super-LumiNova; Rolex rolled its blue-emitting Chromalight compound across the Super Case sports references around 2008, and most of the 116710LN run uses it. Collectors read Chromalight as the modern dividing line between the 16710's tritium / Luminova / Super-Luminova history and the ceramic generation that followed. Patina is not part of the 116710LN conversation the way it is on a 1998 T<25 16710. Chromalight plots on a 2010 example look the same as on a 2018 example.

	Two documented special dials exist. Sotheby's catalogued a 116710LN carrying the Omani Khanjar emblem, dated circa 2010. Bonhams London Watches offered a "Sea King" commission produced around 2014 for UK Ministry of Defence personnel, a 123-piece batch marking the retirement of the Royal Navy's Sea King helicopter fleet. Both are institutional-commission dials rather than Rolex-catalogue variants, and both sit outside the standard black-printed configuration.		Two documented special dials exist.

	The bezel is the defining feature. Cerachrom is Rolex's ceramic trademark, and the black insert on the 116710LN is the first time it appeared on a steel GMT-Master II. Numerals and markings are recessed into the ceramic and filled with platinum via a PVD process, which is why they stay white and bright after years of wear. The contrast against the 16710 is straightforward. Aluminium inserts faded in UV light and scratched from day-to-day wear. The Cerachrom insert does neither.		The bezel is the defining feature.
