Pre-Owned Rolex GMT-Master 40921939/AS06764

WHY WE LOVE IT

There’s a reason why the 16750 has a cult following among GMT-Master collectors: Rolex took the nearly-perfect Reference 1675 (in continuous production for decades), kept the black dial, hands, tritium lume and case, and souped it up under the hood. Hard to go wrong with a recipe like that.

The Reference 16750 GMT-Master is what’s known as a ‘transitional’ model by Rolex collectors today. Early versions boasted a matte dial, like the Reference 1675. However, after a few years Rolex transitioned to a glossy dial with white gold surrounds on the hour markers. This was the same type of dial that was carried over into the modern GMT-Master II references.

This particular example dates to circa 1982 and features a strong holey lug Oyster case housing a matte black dial Tritium dial, a matching handset, a black bidirectional rotating 24hr bezel, and a solid link Oyster bracelet.

If you appreciate the functionality of a GMT-Master over a Submariner and are looking for a strong example of a somewhat overlooked Reference blending elements of old and new, you've got to give this one a look!

OVERALL CONDITION

The case is in excellent condition overall showing signs of light professional refinishing and faint wear consistent from gentle use. Matte black Tritium dial is in equally excellent condition with even patina to luminous elements and matching handset. Signed crown.
