With Rolex Attestation de Chronomètre Officiel, Garantía dated 21 August 1973, pouch, leather wallet and fitted presentation box.
The present watch is an attractive example of a reference 1675 and comes with its original guarantee, a rarity itself.
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. 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".
