Rolex. A rare stainless steel automatic dual time wristwatch with sweep centre seconds, date, black lacquered dial, bracelet and pointed crown guards, original Guarantee and box

With blank Rolex original Certificate in Spanish, Rolex fitted green presentation box and outer packaging.

A fine example of a Rolex reference 1675, the present watch stands out by virtue of its pointed crown guards and the presence of the original "small triangle" GMT-hand. The stainless steel version of reference 1675 originally came with pointed crown guards, which were soon abandoned for the classic round ones. Examples with pointed crown guards are lovingly referred to by Italian collectors as "cornino" or "small horn" GMT Masters.

Reference 1675
Following the success of the original GMT-Master reference 6542 in 1954, Rolex introduced successor reference 1675 only five years later. Reference 1675 stayed in production until 1980. The yellow gold version of reference 1675 originally came without crown guards, which were only introduced in 1967 on the yellow gold version to match their stainless steel counterparts. Upon its introduction, the reference was available in 18K gold or stainless steel. At the start of the 1970s, Rolex also produced versions in steel and gold, a metal combination the company markets as "Rolesor".
