Rolex GMT-Master Reference 16758 in 18K Yellow Gold

The Rolex GMT-Master was originally designed for Pan Am pilots in the 1950s and continues to be a flagship model for Rolex to this day. The reference 1675 was introduced in 1959 and remained in production until 1980.

This is a cool 16758 featuring an 6.6M serial number, dating to circa 1981. The 18k yellow gold case and bracelet has been polished. It has a beautiful sunburst dial. The second hand has been relumed. The watch will fit a wrist slightly above 7 inches. The insert is for a two-tone GMT-Master. It comes with a later all brown insert from the late 1990s.

It does not come with box or papers. We do not know the service history, but it is running well. It recently passed a 5 bar water resistance test.

PRICE: $35,000 (Item SBUXYT5540)
