SIGNED ROLEX, GMT-MASTER MODEL, REF.1675, CASE NO. 4'013'752, CIRCA 1975

The radial dial of the GMT-Master 1675 is distinctive due to the size and position of its hour markers. Referred to as the 'mini dial,' it features smaller hour markers situated closer to the center of the dial, offering a unique aesthetic compared to other editions. Upon closer examination, differences in the font, especially noticeable in the GMT-Master logo compared to 'Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified,' contribute to its distinctiveness and desirability among collectors.

A rare find at auction, the present timepiece with Radial dial represents a rare opportunity to obtain such an attractive example of the iconic Rolex reference 1675.

Reference 1675
Following the success of the original GMT-Master reference 6542 in 1954, Rolex introduced successor reference 1675 only five years later. Reference 1675 stayed in production until 1980. The yellow gold version of reference 1675 originally came without crown guards, which were only introduced in 1967 on the yellow gold version to match their stainless steel counterparts. Upon its introduction, the reference was available in 18K gold or stainless steel. At the start of the 1970s, Rolex also produced versions in steel and gold, a metal combination the company markets as "Rolesor".
