Rolex GMT Master 1675/8

Notes

Our very rare Rolex GMT Master reference 1675 (1675/8 internally to Rolex) features a 18k yellow gold 40mm case, brown 'nipple' dial and brown/ gold rotating bezel as well as 18k yellow gold Oyster rivet bracelet. This is a very desirable reference of the Rolex GMT Master, dating from 1972, and is also known as the Root beer (for the colours), or Concorde GMT (as it featured in the Rolex/ Concorde pilot advertisements in the 1960s). This example has matching hands and equal patina to the nipple style indices, and presents very well given its age. Coming directly from a collection, and likely destined for another, included is a Rolex Service pouch, spare link, redacted copy of a Rolex service invoice (Rolex service centre UK) undertaken in 2011, detailing the £1000 spent, including a brown/ gold revolving bezel, which likely replaced the original it had. Notably the Rolex service papers date the watch to 1972. Also included is a redacted copy of a full service and refurbishment undertaken by a European specialist watchmaker totalling the equivalent of £1000 spent in July 2024 with print outs attesting the timekeeping and water test. This is a great opportunity to acquire one of the most iconic Rolex in precious metal. The bracelet will (as is) fit a wrist up to c.170mm.
