US$20,000-30,000


The present vintage Rolex 6542 is an extremely charismatic and rare example of an early GMT-Master model. It features a highly attractive aged brown lacquered dial. Amongst collectors, this type of dial is now called "tropical". This designation is derived from the colour of the lacquer which over the years has changed from black to a warm chocolate brown. The watch is furthermore preserved in overall very good original condition.

The few examples still available of the early 6542 GMT-Master series which have survived in such beautiful condition are highly sought-after collector's watches.
