Consigned by a distinguished collector, the present watch is a most attractive and truly original Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675, featuring the much sought-after brown dial and brown bezel with gilt inlay. Crisp hallmarks and sharp milling found on the present lot are testimony that the watch has most likely never been polished.
Furthermore, the dial is striking, not only due to its intense brown colour, beautiful gilt signature and markings, but also due to its special applied luminous dot, baton and dagger numerals, nicknamed "nipple dial" by Rolex collectors.
Following the success of the original GMT-Master reference 6542 in 1954 (please see lot 3009 in this sale), Rolex introduced successor reference 1675 only five years later. Reference 1675 stayed in production until 1980. The yellow gold version of reference 1675 originally came without crown guards, which were only introduced in 1967 on the yellow gold version to match their stainless steel counterparts. Upon its introduction, the reference was available in 18K gold or stainless steel. At the start of the 1970s, Rolex also produced versions in steel and gold, a metal combination the company markets as "Rolesor".
