Rolex
A superb example of one of Rolex’s most celebrated tool watches, this 1967 GMT-Master pairs a beautifully aged gilt dial with the unmistakable character and functionality that has made the reference 1675 a true vintage icon. Introduced in 1959, the Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 would go on to become one of the longest-running and most recognisable references in the history of the model. Originally developed for pilots and international travellers, its defining feature is the ability to display two time zones simultaneously, courtesy of the additional 24-hour hand and bidirectional rotating bezel. This 1967 example comes from one of the most desirable periods of 1675 production, featuring a coveted gilt dial whose warm, glossy character epitomises the appeal of early vintage Rolex. The contrasting luminous hour markers and signature Mercedes hands give the dial exceptional legibility, while the arrow-tipped GMT hand tracks a second time zone against the iconic 24-hour bezel. Housed within the classic 40mm stainless-steel Oyster case and paired with a stainless-steel bracelet, the proportions remain as wearable today as they were nearly six decades ago. With its unmistakable design, rich aviation heritage and highly collectible gilt dial, this 1967 GMT-Master 1675 represents vintage Rolex at its most charismatic.
Details
In excellent overall vintage condition, displaying attractive age-related character consistent with a watch of this period.
Our approach is simple: we only buy watches we would be proud to own ourselves. Every piece is selected on its individual merits, with an uncompromising focus on originality, condition, provenance and overall quality. We have no interest in filling our inventory for the sake of it; if an example doesn’t meet our expectations, we leave it behind. Whether it is an important vintage reference, a rare modern complication or an exceptional everyday piece, we search for the best examples we can find and buy only what genuinely excites us. Taste and quality come before volume, every time.
That same standard extends to authentication. Every watch we acquire is subjected to rigorous examination, with the case, dial, movement, components, serial and reference details carefully assessed for authenticity, originality and consistency with the period of manufacture. Where appropriate, provenance and accompanying documentation are scrutinised with equal care. In this business, reputation is everything, and ours is attached to every watch we sell. We would rather walk away from a watch and a deal than offer something we are not completely comfortable putting our name behind. When a watch enters our collection, it is there because we believe it deserves to be.
