Description: Rolex GMT-Master 1675 

The reference 1675 is the second iteration of the original GMT Master and was offered in multiple variations. A handful of metal options were produced under ref. 1675, including the all-gold like the example we have here. It pairs with a beautiful brown dial with brown bezel. However, what really sets this watch apart from other vintage Rolexes on the market are the charming yellow gold nipple hour markers and overall ‘Root Beer’ motif.

This example features a beautifully aged silver text bezel that really adds to this GMT’s vintage charm. This watch didn’t come on a bracelet so we decided to add an chocolate brown leather strap which compliments the brown and gold perfectly. Additionally, this watch comes with it’s punched papers and product literature and original receipt! When inspecting the documents you can see that the punched papers show the original retailer stamp of “Artland Watch Co.” in Hong Kong and the receipt on the Artland Watch Co. letter head with corresponding date and serial number, we love when all the details line up like this.
