The Reference 1675 is perhaps the most famous GMT and certainly one of the most celebrated models of Rolex's entire production. Introduced in 1959, the 1675 stayed in continuous production until 1980 making it one of the longest produced references in the brand's history.
The current example features the striking fuchsia bezel. While it left the factory as standard blue and red, over time the red evolved to have this particular hue that appeals so strongly to collectors.
