Rolex GMT-Master Ref: 16750 - Transition Model. Matte Dial. Ultra Rare. Exceptional.
EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE. ALL CORRECT AND MATCHING. MATTE DIAL. FIRST OF THE TRANSITION MATTE DIAL MODEL.
In 1979 Rolex debuted the third GMT-Master, the ref. 16750. Considered a transitional reference, the GMT-Master 16750 was in production for less than a decade until about 1988. While it was very similar in style to its predecessor, the GMT-Master ref. 1675, the ref. 16750 did offer some technical improvements.
During its eight years of production, the Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 had two distinct dial variations within its steel case. The first generation had matte black dials with hour markers without white gold surrounds, while the later ones had glossy black dials with indexes that included the white gold surrounds.
A vintage GMT-Master ref. 16750 with the matte dials are actually very difficult to come by since they were often replaced with glossy ones during servicing. And naturally, because the matte dials lacking the white gold surrounds are rarer, they are indeed more coveted among the two versions.
