With the GMT-Master, Rolex surprised the market with one of the first sports watches ever produced in solid gold. This unusual association between a tool watch and a precious metal helped to establish Rolex as the sporty and prestigious brand of excellence it still is today. Produced between 1959 and 1980, the reference 1675 was the second generation of the GMT-Master, and it was available in stainless steel, stainless steel and gold or all gold. The successor of reference 6542, the 1675 introduced crown guards and the famous “Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified” printing on the dial, proudly describing the precision timekeeper housed within. The present example in yellow gold features a rich chocolate dial with nipple-shaped, luminous hour markers and a matching brown bezel that provides a warm harmony of color together with the gold case. Ten important letters elevate this timepiece’s appeal and desirability: the name of the prestigious retailer ‘Tiffany & Co’ is inscribed in gold right above the model name making the present lot incredibly rare. The spectacular condition of this timepiece, with its untouched case, pristine dial, and original bezel offers exclusivity and great wearability and style for the collector of vintage Rolex sport watches.
