Specialist note
The present timepiece is a particularly charismatic representative of the celebrated GMT Master model. Stunningly attractive the brown dial features the so-called “nipple” indexes.
Reference 1675
Following the success of the original GMT-Master reference 6542 in 1954, Rolex introduced reference 1675 only five years later. It remained in production until 1980.
The yellow gold version of reference 1675 originally came without crown guards, which were only introduced in 1967 to match their stainless steel counterparts. Thereafter the reference was also available in stainless steel.
