Among the most coveted early variants of the GMT-Master lineage, this yello𝕴w gold reference 1675 stands apart for its rare and desirable configuration—most notably, the absence of crown guards and the presence of “Concorde” hands, a slender, sharply tapered style used e♓xclusively on early gold GMTs.


Produced during the early 1960s, this reference sits at a critical transitional point in Rolex’s tool watch development. While the stainless steel 1675 had already adopted𝔍 crown guards by 1960, the earliest gold examples retained the cleaner, more elegant lines of the first GMT-Master, reference 6542. The absence of crown guards on this piece, paired with its early serial number and delicate case proportions, lends it a refined, almost dress-like character.


The original bronze dial is another highlight, featuring warm golden printin♕g, an open minute track, and applied “nipple dial” style hour markers. The distinctive “Concorde” hands, named after a Rolex advertisement from the era that featured the model on the wrist of a Concorde pilot.


This rare, early 1675 in gold captures the glamour and innovation of Rolex’s jet-set era. It is a connoisseur’s GMT—a golden ico🐬n with both technical intrigue 🦹and tremendous visual allure.
