About the Item

Ref: COM1736 Manufacturer: Rolex Model: GMT-Master Model Ref: 1675 Age: Circa 1961 Gender: Mens Complete With: Xupes Presentation Box Dial: Black Glass: Plexiglass Movement: Automatic Water Resistance: To Manufacturers Specifications Case: Stainless Steel Buckle Material: Stainless Steel Deployment Strap: Brown Calf Leather Case Size: 40mm Strap Length: Adjustable up to 20cm Strap Width: At Case - 20mm/At Buckle - 20mm Why It matters: The Rolex GMT Master 1675 Pepsi was only produced for a short amount of time with a small GMT hand as we see here, mostly in the 1960s. The entire run of the 1675 lasted 21 years from 1959 to 1980, so there are plenty of models around with small GMT hands still available, but rarely from the 1960s. This piece contains the Rolex calibre 1560 movement and has a caseback stamped II.61, indicating a production model from the second quarter of 1961. The combination of the small GMT hand, movement calibre and production year make this piece particularly rare, as this is a transitional model just before the larger GMT hand was introduced along with the subsequent calibre 1570/5. This 40mm stainless steel piece comes without original box and papers as is the case with many of this age, but its condition is excellent. The bezel has seen some discolouration and there are some marks to the caseback and lugs. The Swiss only gloss dial with gilt writing is in good condition and hour markers in tact with depleted lume spots. The six o’clock marker also features a rare “exclamation point” feature in the existence of a round lume plot located directly under this marker resembling the look of an exclamation mark. The square crown guard is also a nice feature differing from the more common rounded, or sought after pointy. The watch comes on a brown calves leather strap.

Rolex

While the rise in popularity of vintage Rolex watches is of no surprise to aficionados, collectors and industry experts, when it comes to contemporary luxury wristwatches, Rolex is also often the first brand that springs to mind. Not only is the company revered for its precision timekeeping and impeccable craftsmanship, but its name was designed to be memorable.

Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited in part to the genius of company founder Hans Wilsdorf. When the German-born watch dealer and his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis, set up their London enterprise, in 1905, they called it Wilsdorf & Davis, according to the traditional formula.

But Wilsdorf was determined to come up with another name that was short, would look good on a watch dial and was easy to say and remember in several languages. In 1908, he trademarked the name Rolex, and by 1920, he had moved the company to Geneva and redubbed it as Montres Rolex S.A.

But the main reasons for the brand’s success are its aforementioned commitment to precision and unflagging pursuit of innovation. In 1926, the company introduced the aptly named Oyster model. With a screw-down crown and case back, both fitted with rubber gaskets, this was the first truly waterproof watch.

Five years later, Rolex upped the ante with the Oyster Perpetual. That model’s patented Perpetual movement contained a rotor mechanism enabling it to self-wind. In another trendsetting move, in 1945, the brand debuted the Datejust, with a date window prominently displayed on the dial.

The company’s two most iconic models are sports watches. Although the Submariner, which debuted in 1953, was developed as a dive watch, its waterproof case, solid construction and good looks made it a favorite of adventurers and urbanites alike, including James Bond, who wore it in classics like Dr. No and Goldfinger. The Daytona, the racing chronograph made famous by Paul Newman, is especially sought after by collectors. Newman’s personal Daytona, which hit the auction block in 2017, sold for $17.8 million.
