The Rolex GMT-Master Reference 1675 is one of the most iconic and collectible Rolex models ever produced. Introduced in 1959 as the successor to the original GMT-Master 6542, the 1675 brought several key updates, including the addition of crown guards and a more robust case construction. Designed for pilots and travelers, it featured the now-legendary bi-color bezel—most famously in red and blue, nicknamed the "Pepsi" bezel—allowing wearers to tra🐠ck two time 🤡zones simultaneously. The watch was powered by the Rolex Caliber 1565 (later upgraded to the 1575 movement in the mid-1960s), featuring a 24-hour hand that rotated once per day, aligning with the bezel to indicate a second time zone.

Produced for over two decades until 1980, the 1675 underwent various subtle changes, including different dial configurations, bezel variations, and bracelet options. Early models featured gilt dials with glossy finishes, while later versions adopted matte dials with white printed text. Collectors particularly prize certain variants, such as those with po🦩inted crown guards (known as "PCG" or "cornino") and rare dial markings like the "Long E" logo. With its historical significance, timeless design, and enduring functionality, the Rolex 1675 remains a grail watch for many enthusiasts and a cornerstone of vintage Rolex collecting.

This 1978 example is in exceptional condition, featuring an aged dial and an unpolished case, preserving its original character. Accompanied by its original box and papers, this time🅺piece has remained untouched for years. We are honored to offer this remarkable lot directl⭕y from the family of the original owner.
