Lot Essay
Consigned by a private Swiss collector the present ref. 1675 is a highly appealing example of the GMT-Master model. The case is preserved in very good overall condition, the rare matte MK I dial is unrestored, with attractive cream-coloured indexes. The original bracelet and the uniformly bleached bezel further enhance the overall look of the watch.
Reference 1675
Following the success of the original GMT-Master reference 6542 in 1954, Rolex introduced reference 1675 only five years later which stayed in production until 1980. The yellow gold version of reference 1675 originally came without crown guards, which were only introduced in 1967 on the yellow gold version to match their stainless steel counterparts. Upon its introduction, the reference was available in 18K gold or stainless steel. As of the early 1970s, Rolex also produced versions in steel and gold, a metal combination the company advertises as "Rolesor".
