Rolex “Gilt 1675” GMT-Master

Description

Up for grabs is a lovely example of a Rolex GMT-Master with a glossy gilt dial, circa 1966 (1.5m serial), reference 1675. This example is the last gilt dial Rolex produced before transitioning to the matte dial in/around 1967.

This Rolex GMT-Master is in very nice vintage condition.  The case is unpolished and sharp, with original beveled edges. The dial is beautiful – still very glossy, with minimal wear visible under a loupe. The original tritium lume is present on the dial, aged to a golden yellow color; the hands have been professionally color-matched to the dial. The original and period-correct “Pepsi” bezel insert is in nice condition, with a nice fade and some wear from use Further, the watch comes equipped on a Rolex Swiss Jubilee 6251H bracelet with 55 endlinks, dated to 1966; the band has light stretch, and will fit a large wrist.
