Specialist note

The present reference 1675 is a highly appealing example of the celebrated GMT-Master model in gold, preserved in very good overall condition. The dial furthermore impresses by its special applied luminous dot, baton and dagger numerals with stylish raised gold surround. This particular type of dial, regardless of its colour, is nicknamed "bicchierini" by Italian watch collectors, which translates as "small glasses".

An overall very attractive watch it further delights by having retained its crisp gold marks, sharp outlines, as well as crisp milling on the back and to the sides of the bezel.
