Specialist note

Timepieces set with precious stones are among the rarest and most desirable watches crafted by Rolex. Modern interpretation of the widely acclaimed GMT-Master reference 16758 launched in 1979, the present wristwatches are also nicknamed "SARU" with reference to the diamond, sapphire and ruby setting, tribute to the colors of bakelite bezels of earlier references.
