Generations run left to right, ancestors first, and the axis along the top is ordinal rather than linear: each band is one generation, labelled with the range of sourced introduction years it contains. A band reads “—” when no caliber in it has a year anyone published — the gap is the finding, not a rendering failure. Dotted arcs above and below the drawing are related edges — successor, drop-in, no-derivation — which are stored in a different table from lineage and can never form part of an ancestry path.

| Caliber | Relationship | To | Status | Detail | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rolex 3185 | revision of lineage | Rolex 3085 | accepted | interchange note: Published delta: the movement is thinner, which let the ref. 16710 case slim down relative to the ref. 16760 "Fat Lady". No functional change is reported. · component delta: dimensions | |
| Rolex 3186 | revision of lineage | Rolex 3185 | accepted | interchange note: Published delta: Parachrom hairspring in place of the 3185's, for better temperature and shock resistance. · component delta: balance_spring | |
| Rolex 3085 | successor of related | design:rolex-3075 | accepted | Recorded as commercial succession only, and even that with a caveat the source supplies: the 3085 launched ALONGSIDE the 3075 in 1982 rather than after it, and the GMT-Master line ran on until ref. 16700 was phased out in 1999. No source consulted states that the 3085 derives from the 3075, so no lineage edge is authored. | |
| design:rolex-3285 | successor of related | Rolex 3186 | accepted | Commercial replacement in the GMT-Master II line: ref. 126710BLRO (cal. 3285) succeeded ref. 116710LN (cal. 3186). The power-reserve comparison "70 hours from 50" is the source's own. |
