1966 Rolex GMT Master Gilt Dial Ref. 1675
The Gilti Pleasure - Offered here is a Rolex GMT Master 1675 with Gilt dial in the 1.4m Serial batch making it one of the last ones produced in 1966 before the first Matte dial was introduced. The case is very fat and possibly unpolished with beautiful proportions and beautiful factory bevels on the lugs. The crown guards are rich and thick. The dial is super glossy without any loss and the original Zinc Sulfide Tritium is original on dial and hands, has taken on a very warm light brown color. This watch is pure joy and full of character with its medley of colors, a raw GMT for those who enjoy history on the wrist.

Brief History
Rolex GMT-Master
The GMT Master was launched in 1954 and designed in collaboration with Pan American Airways, with an extra 24h hour hand and bi-color bezel that allowed pilots to track two time zones across day and night. The GMT Master is characterised by an automatic movement and the iconic dual-colour bezel that represents each of the 24 hours in a day.
