Rolex GMT-Master 1675/8

Rolex “1675/8 18kt” GMT-Master

Offered here is a lovely and rare Rolex GMT-Master, reference 1675/8 in 18kt yellow gold, circa 1970 (2.8m serial). 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 likely 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 on the dial, and a slightly lighter shade in the hands. 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, dated to 1970; the bracelet will fit an approximate 7.2″ wrist, and has no stretch (likely restored/tightened in the past to factory specifications).
