Specialist note

A mouthwatering example of the extremely rare Tiffany & Co. signed reference 1675 in gold, the present watch is distinguished by its excellent overall condition. The magical signature of “Tiffany & Co.” is printed in gold just above the GMT-Master designation and furthermore the watch is confirmed as being retailed by the world-renowned company in April 1981.

Further enhancing the appeal of the watch are the highly attractive so-called “nipple” indexes, the case delights by having retained its sharp outlines, crisp gold marks, and crisp milling to back and bezel.

The black dial and bezel combined with the gold is gorgeous, it is a watch with stunning looks and extreme rarity amongst GMT-Master variations. Just a handful of GMT-Masters, all references, all materials but particularly in gold, retailed by Tiffany & Co. have appeared on the market over the past decade. The present watch is both attractive and wearable, sure to impress even the most demanding of collectors.
