    The Rolex GMT-Master reference 1675 enjoyed a successful production run spanning over 20 years, from 1959 to 1980, serving as a robust replacement for its predecessor, the ref. 6542, which was introduced in 1954. Initially featuring glossy dials with gilt printing, Rolex made a switch to matte dials as early as the 1.6 million serial numbers. The exact reason behind this transition remains unknown, but matte dials offered advantages such as cost-effectiveness, durability, and reduced reflectivity.

    The present lot, with a serial number of 2.8 million and estimated to be from around 1971, showcases a stunning matte black dial boasting highly sought-after attributes, including the 'MK 1' and 'Long E' configuration. Additionally, it's worth noting that the luminous hour indexes on this timepiece, which exhibit a distinct 'waffle-like texture' commonly found in earlier serial ranges, have acquired an appealing creamy patina over time.

    Overall, the reference 1675 with its matte ‘MK 1’ dial variant, represents a remarkable timepiece that combines historical significance, aesthetic appeal, and the charming allure of vintage Rolexes.

    Swiss • 1905

    Founded in 1905 England by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis as Wilsdorf & Davis, it soon became known as the Rolex Watch Company in 1915, moving its headquarters to Geneva in 1919. Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s.

    One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
