1978 Rolex GMT Master MK5 Maxi Dial Ref. 1675
We have here a great example of a late Rolex GMT Master with Mk5 matte dial, the last version of the 1675 reference which ranged just before the end of the 70s. The dial is in pristine condition not showing any flaws. The Maxi lume plots have aged to a beautiful warm corn yellow color and are matching the hands. As if this was not enough the watch is fitted to the original C&I bracelet with full links in great condition. A beautiful Pepsi in very vibrant colors and in great condition.

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.
