	The reference launched at Baselworld 2006 and ran into roughly 2019~~. Dealer-side guides place~~ the end of production ~~around 2018 to 2019, reflecting~~ the rolling ~~nature~~ of the ~~cutoff rather than a dated announcement~~. ~~The surviving market carries examples~~ dated across the full run, with 2014 and 2017 lots entering the auction~~-house~~ record in Sotheby's and Bonhams sales during active production.		The reference launched at Baselworld 2006 and ran into roughly 2019, with the end of production undated by Rolex and read off the rolling cutoff at the time of the 2019 generation change. Examples dated across the full run survive in the market, with 2014 and 2017 lots entering the auction record in Sotheby's and Bonhams sales during active production.

	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.~~		Caliber 3186 powered the 116713LN throughout. The 3186 ran at 28,800 vph with a 50-hour power reserve and carried a blue Parachrom hairspring. Caliber 3285, which superseded it on the ceramic Rootbeer pair in 2018, moved the reserve to 70 hours and added the Chronergy escapement.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, so a single movement generation runs from launch to discontinuation.

	The reference has no production branches in the ~~sense~~ that the earlier 16713 or the 16710 do. ~~The~~ single dial, single bezel, and single bracelet ~~mean the 116713LN is best~~ read as one long generation rather than a tree of variants~~.

Auction-house coverage is thin for the 116713LN. The reference appears in Sotheby's online and Bonhams catalogues across its production run, but it has not produced headline lots in the way the steel sport references have, and most market activity sits on the dealer side rather than the auction floor.

	The [[Reference:116713LN\|116713LN]] is the two-tone ceramic GMT-Master II of the six-digit era. It arrived at Baselworld 2006 as the first GMT-Master II with a Cerachrom bezel, and it did so in Rolesor rather than steel. That release order matters. For roughly a year, the only ceramic GMT-Master II Rolex sold was this steel-and-yellow-gold version, ahead of the all-steel [[Reference:116710LN\|116710LN]] that arrived in 2007. The reference then ran alongside the steel ceramic version for the next decade, holding the Rolesor position in the line until the broader 2019 generation change.

	The dial story is the ~~116713LN’s~~ narrowest. A single gloss-black lacquer dial with Chromalight lume plots in yellow-gold surrounds, paired with a black Cerachrom insert carrying gold-filled 24-hour graduations. The GMT hand is green, a detail that reads as the simplest generation marker separating the 116713LN and its Cerachrom siblings from the aluminum-insert 16713. There is no Rootbeer branch, no brown-dial branch, no alternate bezel colour inside the reference. ~~Sotheby’s~~ and Bonhams auction catalogues across the production run describe the same configuration.

	The single-dial decision is itself a narrative point. The vintage 1675 and 16753 carried brown-and-gold Rootbeer dials as the yellow-gold GMT identity. The 16713 split yellow-gold production between brown and black. The 116713LN consolidated yellow-gold GMT-Master II production onto black only. When Rolex brought the Rootbeer back in 2018, it did so in Everose, not yellow gold, and on a different six-digit reference.		The single-dial decision is itself a narrative point.
