Rolex “Gilt 1675” GMT-Master

Description

Up for grabs is a very beautiful example of a Rolex GMT-Master with a glossy gilt dial, circa 1965-66 (1.3m serial), reference 1675, that we have seen in quite some time. This example is the last gilt dial Rolex produced before transitioning to the matte dial in/around 1967.

This Rolex GMT-Master is in greatvintage condition.  The case has been professionally polished in the past, mimicking factory original beveled edges with a thick and even case. The dial is beautiful – still very glossy, with virtually no wear under a loupe.  The original tritium lume is present on both dial and hands, aged to a golden yellow color.  The original and period-correct fat-font “Pepsi” bezel insert is in nice condition, with a nice and light fade set in to the colors. Further, the watch comes equipped on a Rolex Swiss Jubilee bracelet with 55 endlinks, dated to 1969, with no stretch, fitting an approximate 7.5″ wrist.
