Rolex GMT-Master 16750, Steel, "Pepsi", Black Dial, 40 mm
The Rolex 16750 stands out as one of the most significant GMT references in the brand's history. Equipped with the 3075 movement, it marked a substantial improvement over its predecessor, the 1675. Notably, the 16750 introduced the quick-set date feature, a first in GMT-Master models, enhancing convenience for users. Esteemed by collectors for its suitability for everyday wear, the 16750 boasts enhanced water resistance of 100 meters, double that of the 1675. With the addition of a quick-set date and hacking seconds, it offers a modern touch and effortless usability. Produced from 1980 to around '89, the earlier models before 1986 featured matte black dials with painted tritium indices, later replaced by glossy dials with applied white gold tritium-filled indices. This specific timepiece hails from 1984 but sports the newer glossy dial introduced in '86, a replacement done by Rolex during routine servicing. The dial exhibits minor hairline scratches, contributing to a sought-after "spider dial" appearance, which has gained considerable popularity. While the bezel retains its originality with some light scratches, it maintains vibrant colors indicative of its age. Overall, this example remains in good condition, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a vintage watch for daily wear.
