Following a glorious 20+ year production run of the GMT-Master 1675, Rolex released reference 16750 in 1980, equipped with the upgraded calibre 3075, which introduced a quickset date function. A slightly thicker case was used to accommodate the new movement, which also offered improved water resistance. Early 16750 models featured matte dials similar to those found on the 1675, before being replaced by gloss dials in 1984.
This is a fantastic example of a gloss-dial 16750 — a flawless dial, a beautifully faded bezel… what more could you want?
