Stunningly attractive with black nipple dial, black bezel and yellow gold case, this GMT-Master reference 1675 is presented in immaculate condition. At the direct request of the present owner, this watch has been completely serviced by Rolex and fitted with Rolex service après vente dial and bezel.
The reason for this unusual and highly expensive refurbishment by Rolex is a purely practical one. Manufactured in 1970, it has now been brought back up to modern standards and is fully useable again as a modern watch. The ethos behind this is much the same as a ground-up rebuild of a classic car to be compliant with modern regulations and regularly used.
Now of interest and collectable in their own right, Rolex “full service” or "après vente" watches are ideal for those seeking the vintage look combined with modern-day practicality – in other words a “new old Rolex”.
