The Rolex GMT Master reference 16750 superseded the reference 1675 in 1981 and was produced until 1988. This is quite a short production period for a Rolex model, and it is after its discontinuation that the watch has been identified as a transitional model. The main innovations were prompted by the new caliber 3075 featuring a quick-set date and hacking seconds. The second series 16750, such as the present lot, also introduced a new luxurious touch with the white gold circling to the tritium dial indexes. The present watch, manufactured in 1984, features a striking glossy black dial which is complemented by the pepsi (red and blue) bezel.
