Lot 15 VARIOUS PROPERTIES

The following two lots, 15 and 16, are fine examples of early GMT-Master ref. 1675 models, featuring appealing black gloss dials, beautifully harmonizing with the gilt printing and the evenly discoloured luminous numerals and hands, the 24 hours hand with the small arrow top (nicknamed "Freccino") and the pointed crown guards. Subsequently produced ref. 1675 models are fitted with the matte dial and show the rounded shoulders. For this reason, the present models are also known as the "Cornino" or "small horn" GMT-Master.
