Lot Essay
The present timepiece, is a very rare Tiffany & Co. double signed Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 in yellow gold. Few examples can match the aura and exclusivity added by the enchanting 'Tiffany & Co.' signature, which is printed just above the GMT-Master designation.
In recent decades, only a small number of Tiffany-signed GMT-Masters in all metals and configurations have surfaced publicly, with solid gold examples being especially hard to find. As a result, the current piece is a remarkable find.
Reference 1675
Following the revolutionary ref. 6542, the GMT-Master reference 1675 was introduced in 1959. It improved upon Rolex's dual-time design and solidified the model's reputation as a tool watch for both business and leisure. Crown guards were not originally included in the yellow gold version, but they were added in 1967 to bring it into line with its steel counterparts. The ref. 1675, which was valued for its practicality and elegance, became the foundation of the GMT-Master line and was offered in 18K gold or stainless steel, and later in the steel-and-gold 'Rolesor' combination.
Since its establishment in 1905, Rolex has worked with some of the most prominent retailers in the world, including Tiffany & Co., Serpico y Laino, and Joyeria Riviera, all of whom have proudly featured their names on Rolex dials. Tiffany-signed Rolex watches, however, are unique among all these cherished collaborations and represent the highest level of collectability.
