Rolex “1675/8 18kt” GMT-Master

Description

Offered here is an exceptional and rare Rolex GMT-Master, reference 1675/8 in 18kt yellow gold, circa 1972. The 1675/8 is the second iteration of the all-gold GMT-Master, following its introduction in the late 1950s in the reference 6542.

The condition on this Rolex GMT-Master is great. The case has been lightly polished in the past, showing thick and even lugs, and original beveled edges still prevalent.  The original maroon dial shows no major flaws or chips.  In similar fashion, the watch retains its original tritium lume on both dial and hands, aged to a golden yellow color.  Further, the watch retains its original all-brown GMT-insert, aged with a lovely fading set in.

Finally, the watch is fitted on a Rolex Swiss Jubilee bracelet; the bracelet will fit a large wrist (7.5″+), and has medium stretch, overall well-preserved with no damaged links.
