Description
Up for grabs is an exceptional example of a Rolex GMT-Master with a glossy gilt dial, circa 1966 (1.4m serial). This example is the last gilt dial Rolex produced before transitioning to the matte dial in/around 1967. This Rolex GMT-Master is in amazing condition. The case appears unpolished, with original factory bevels visible (or if it was ever polished, it was done lightly). The dial is incredible – super glossy, with a mirror like finish, and almost no wear. The original tritium lume is present on both dial and hands, aged to a golden yellow color. The original and period-correct “Pepsi” bezel insert is in fantastic condition, and has aged to a lighter shade of red on the bottom half. Further, the watch comes equipped on a Rolex rivet 7206/58 bracelet, dated to the 4th quarter of 1966, and is in practically unworn condition, with 12 full links and no stretch.
