Lot Essay
The present timepiece is offered excellent condition and sold with the complete set of accessories. Affectionately called "Root Beer" by collectors, the model has been released in 2018 along with the all-gold version 126571CHNR.
Root Beer
In 1962, Rolex launched its first GMT model in Rolesor material. Prior to this release, GMT Master watches were only available in all-stainless steel or gold. This first example in the long history of Root Beer models has the reference 1675/3 and features a brown or black dial framed by a rotating bezel that is half gold and half brown. It was nicknamed Root Beer by collectors and connoisseurs due to the fact that the colour of the bezel was based on that of soda water. The relatively short production time made this rare reference an important part of any serious collection.
