1966 Rolex GMT-Master Reference 1675 With Gilt Dial

Why This Watch Matters

What’s better than a Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 with Pepsi bezel? A Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 with Pepsi bezel and a GILT DIAL.

The Full Story

That’s right, you saw it here first: we have found the most incredible example of a Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 with a gilt dial. And not just that, oh no, this bad boy is signed "Swiss-T < 25" at the base of the dial and has tritium lume plots that still glow faintly, which is common for gilt dial GMTs from the 1960s. This is truly a rare example if we have ever seen one.

What we Love and What You Should Know

This watch is in impeccable condition. The dial is immaculate and the tritium lume plots and handset still glow, which is common for gilt dial GMTs made in the 1960s. The case is full, but shows some minor signs of polishing. There are some light scratches throughout on the caseback and bracelet, which is a later addition. This is an incredible gilt dial reference 1675 that you don't see often.
