Stunning Vintage Rolex GMT Master Ref. 1675 - Original Gilt Gloss Dial

Explore the beauty of this exceptional 1964 Rolex GMT Master Ref. 1675, featuring a stunning original untouched gilt gloss dial. Photographs often fail to capture the true allure of this timepiece, but rest assured, the flawless dial showcases all gilt lettering intact along with beautiful, aged Lume that has transformed into a warm cream color, creating a perfect combination of vintage charm.

Highlights:

  • Dial: Original Gilt Gloss Dial with Flawless Aesthetic
  • Bezel: Iconic Pepsi Bezel Insert, uniquely aged to a deeper red with a subtle bronze hue in certain lighting
  • Tropical Effect: Under direct sunlight, the dial has developed a stunning tropical brown tone, further enhancing its collectible appeal

This exquisite piece has garnered admiration from respected Rolex collectors at various meetings, confirming its status as a worthy addition to any serious collection.

Key Features:

  • Case & Bracelet: The watch features a stunning case and the correct riveted 7205 bracelet with number 80 end links
  • Movement: Powered by the reliable Rolex Caliber 1560 automatic movement, recently serviced and backed by a 12-month guarantee
  • Dating: Serial number dates the watch to 1964, matching the case back stamp (1V/64) and bracelet stamp (2/65)

Introduced in 1959, the GMT Master ref. 1675 has been a favorite among collectors for over two decades, with scarce gilt dials highly sought after. This particular model, featuring the small triangle extra hour hand, is a gem among vintage watches.

Condition Notes:

It’s important to note that some minor signs of aging are present. Certain lighting conditions may reveal crazing on the plexi, and there is a slight loss of lume at the 6 o'clock position. However, these characteristics are typical for watches of this vintage, and replacement of the plexi is a straightforward option if desired.

Why This Piece Stands Out

While the market for modern Rolex watches may have softened in recent years, the search for exceptional vintage pieces remains a challenge. This stunning watch was sourced from a collector I trust deeply, providing a unique opportunity for a new owner to enjoy a truly remarkable vintage Rolex.
