In 1959/60, the Rolex GMT Master reference 1675 was born and remained in production until 1980. Over its 20-plus years of production, Rolex introduced numerous changes to the 1675, from the movement and case to the dials (transitioning from gilt to matte), and even the bezel design. These updates give 1675s from different eras distinct characters.

Among these variations, gilt-dial 1675s were produced only between 1959 and 1967 and are found in far smaller numbers than their matte counterparts. The present example dates to the final years of gilt 1675's production, featuring a "Wide Swiss" dial, in fantastic condition. The mirror finish on these dials are to die for.
