Pre-Owned Rolex GMT-Master 'Root Beer' 40922269/AS07469

WHY WE LOVE IT

In our opinion, there are few things cooler than a two-tone Rolex GMT-Master!

We're continually on the lookout for these special watches as they combine the outstanding functionality of a Rolex GMT-Master with unmatched looks and tremendous value. They also came in a number of different subtle variations with different dial and bezel configurations, precious metal weights, and bracelet options.

This particular example, a Reference 1675 'Root Beer', dates to circa 1971 and features a 39mm Oyster case with holey lugs, a beautiful matte brown 'gilt' nipple dial with a matching handset, a bi-directional 24hr GMT bezel with a 'ghosted' brown insert, and a matching two-tone Oyster bracelet with a signed blade clasp.

While admittedly not for everyone, there is something about a two-tone GMT-Master that, to us, just works. Be it the versatility, or the relative value next to its full-gold and full-steel counterparts, two-tone offers a compelling value proposition for the GMT-Master line.

This one's just got a little more fizz.

The case is in very good condition overall showing signs of refurbishing and normal wear from age and use. Matte brown Tritium 'gilt' dial with applied 'nipple' indices is in fantastic condition with matching handset. Signed crown. Brown bezel insert shows even 'ghosting' fade.
