Descriptif du lot
Distinguished by its early luminous leaf hands, this early and especially captivating yellow gold GMT-Master is a rare transitional example. Interestingly, the yellow gold versions of reference 1675 were first made without crown guards, a feature that was only added in 1967 to match their stainless-steel counterparts, making these early 'no crown guards' examples especially sought after by collectors.
Visually, the watch is striking. The rich brown dial features the characteristic 'nipple' hour markers, where applied gold indexes rise prominently from the surface. The yellow gold case interacts harmoniously with the warm tones of the dial and matching brown bezel to produce an incredibly unified and appealing look.
Reference 1675
Following the success of the original Rolex GMT-Master Reference 6542 introduced in 1954, Rolex launched the reference 1675 five years later. It became one of the most iconic and enduring GMT-Master references, continuing to be produced until 1980. The model was initially available in stainless steel or 18k gold. Later iterations in the early 1970s were also offered in steel and gold, a combination Rolex called the Rolesor.
