Succeeding the coveted ref. 1675, which enjoyed a long production spanning over 20 years, the new reference featured essentially very similar aesthetics to its predecessor with a few upgrades. While the ref. 1675 only had a depth rating of 50 meters, the new model featured double of that with 100 meters. Fitted with an upgraded cal. 3075, the movement features a practical quickset feature allowing the wearer to adjust the date and time separately via the crown. The reference was discontinued in 1988. The present example Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16758 from circa 1988 features a beautiful and rare gold dial with diamond and ruby-set hour markers referred as a “Serti” dial and is offered in attractive condition and complete with its full set of accessories.
