Specialist note

The present ref. 1675 is a rare example of the so-called "Blueberry" model, distinguished by its all blue bezel insert. These inserts were predominantly found on GMT-Master watches supplied to Peruvian and Middle Eastern military forces but also given to Rolex Service Centers as a replacement option.

Furthermore preserved in very good original overall condition, this watch is a rare find for the aficionado of the GMT-Master.
