A Rolex Transformed: Meet the Bespoke “AFRIKA”

Timepieces can be more than accessories—they can embody personal stories. Artisans de Genève’s latest bespoke creation, “AFRIKA,” transforms the Rolex GMT-Master II 116710 into a narrative of life and freedom.

Inspired by this connection, the watchmakers reimagined the piece with a skeletonized movement and a green ceramic world time bezel, showcasing 24 cities and their time zones. The deep green extends to the chapter ring and dauphine-shaped hands, while touches of yellow gold on the openworked dial reflect the warmth of Africa’s landscapes.
