With Rolex Guarantee dated 30th of July 1966, Contrôle Officiel de la Marche des Chronomètres, product litterature, period box and outer packaging.
Created in line with aeronautical innovations of the 1950s and the appearance of jet-powered aircrafts, the Rolex GMT-Master emanated from a previously unknown syndrome, the jetlag.
Worried about negative effects on their pilots, the airline company Pan American Airways commissioned Rolex to engineer a wristwatch able to simultaneously keep track of time in two time zones. The present collaboration gave birth to a timepiece with an additional hour hand revolving once every 24 hours and a bi-color rotating bezel allowing pilots to easily differentiate between day and night time.
Throughout the years, the GMT-Master stayed true to its origins and imposed itself as one of the most reputable and collectible Rolex wristwatches.
Highly appealing example of the GMT-Master model, the present timepiece is offered with a highly attractive black gloss dial and its accessories.
