Vintage Rolex GMT-Masters are continuing to gain in popularity and value, particularly due to the release of the new Pepsi bezel GMT-Master in steel by Rolex at Baselworld this year. The present watch is a beautiful example of the GMT-Master reference 1675 with Mark 1 matte dial. Notably, its case is unpolished, which is extremely unusual and rare to see on a vintage reference 1675. Furthermore, it includes its original chronometer certificate, dated to September 1968, guarantee certificate, and presentation and outer boxes. It also includes three bracelets: one US-made steel Oyster rivet bracelet as well as one US-made steel Jubilee bracelet, both seemingly received at time of purchase, as well as a more modern bracelet from service. The present watch is an exceptional opportunity to purchase a “complete” vintage Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 with an unpolished case.
