1988 Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16750 Full Set

Being the predecessor of the infamous GMT-Master Ref. 1675, the 16750 is known as a transitional reference. Released around 1979/1980 and produced until 1988, they were aesthetically the same as the 1675 but introducing a quickset feature and re-organizing the order of the hands.

 

The first 16750s came with matte dials, and at around 1986 Rolex switched to glossy dials with gold hour marker surroundings.

 

This reference has rapidly turned into a sough-after for collectors, and there’s no wonder why.

The example offered here is an extraordinary specimen. It features a perfect glossy dial, with light creamy patina hour markers and matching hands.

 

The 40mm stainless steel case is in great condition, remaining thick and very sharp letting show some signs of wear.

 

The original, Serif font ‘Pepsi’ bezel is also in great shape.

 

The watch is running well and keeping time, although service history is unknown.

 

It comes suited with the correct 20mm Rolex 62510 H stainless steel Jubilee bracelet with 550 end links and clasp code K7.

 

Lastly but not least, it is presented as a complete set which includes outer box, inner box, wallet, translation leaflet and stamped guarantee papers showing it was sold in Andorra in 1989.
