ROLEX, STAINLESS STEEL DUAL TIME GMT-MASTER 'PEPSI', REF. 1675
The reference 1675 offered here for sale is a superb specimen of this ultra-rare series, preserved in excellent overall condition. The glossy dial is in original, unrestored condition, the well-preserved, slightly creamy luminous accents are intact. Featuring the typical characteristics of a rare so-called Type C dial with its unusual wide “SWISS T 25” printing across a total of five minute marking to the bottom of the dial. Due to their unique characteristics developed over time, glossy dials are among the most desirable and beautiful dials ever to be found in vintage Rolex timepieces, they are highly sought-after by collectors and were often replaced during services.
The full case has not been subject to careless polishing and features well-defined proportions and edges. The bezel further enhance the overall look of the watch.
The present timepiece represents an extremely rare opportunity for collectors to acquire an important example of an iconic reference of the Rolex manufacture.
