Rolex GMT-Master 16753

Vintage 1985 Rolex GMT-Master Two Tone Automatic Watch Ref 16753

The balance of functionality and material contrast gives the watch a distinct identity within Rolex’s sport watch range. Reference Number: 16753. Our travels across the U.S. have spanned nearly five decades. This 1985 Rolex GMT-Master reference 16753 is crafted in a combination of stainless steel and yellow gold, presenting the brand’s characteristic two-tone construction. The case is paired with a matching Jubilee bracelet, integrating polished yellow gold center links with brushed steel outer links. A black dial is framed by a black 24-hour bezel insert with gold-toned numerals, creating a cohesive contrast against the warmer tones of the metal. The dial features applied luminous hour markers in round, rectangular, and triangular forms, along with Mercedes-style hands and a date display at three o’clock beneath a cyclops magnifier. The additional GMT hand, tipped with an arrow, allows for tracking a second time zone in conjunction with the rotating bezel. The watch is powered by an automatic movement, consistent with Rolex’s GMT-Master line, and the screw-down crown is set within crown guards for added protection. Produced during the mid-1980s, this reference reflects the practical travel-focused design language of the GMT-Master series, combined with the more elevated presence of two-tone construction.
