Superseding the reference 6542, the Rolex GMT Master reference 1675 had a long production run spanning from 1959 to 1980. This watch was manufactured in around 1963, making it an early 1675 and there are number of attributes that render it an exceptional example. These early pieces had 'cornino' styled cases as the crown guards can be seen on either front or back side, which is extremely sought-after by collectors. The dial of this watch gathers some of the most attractive particulars. Foremost, it is a gilt glossy dial, referring to the gilt lettering that was used during the first eight years of production. Secondly, it has the small GMT hand which is another feature of the early GMT production.
