We have been lovers of the Rolex GMT-Master 1675 for a very long time, and over the years we have handled many beautiful examples. But every now and then, one comes along that instantly feels set apart. This is one of them. Featuring the highly collectible MK1 “Long E” dial, this example has developed a wonderfully rich chocolate-brown tropical tone that gives the watch an entirely different presence and charm.
What makes this watch so special is, without question, the dial. Tropical Long E dials are already rare, but this one is especially beautiful — warmer, richer and even browner than the comparable example we previously had the pleasure of selling. It is exactly the kind of watch that makes seasoned GMT collectors stop and smile. The tritium lume has aged to a super sexy dark vanilla patina, adding even more warmth and depth to the already stunning dial. Together, these details give the watch an irresistible and highly individual character.
The condition is equally impressive. The case is wonderfully thick and strong, with the full proportions collectors always hope to find on a great 1675. It is fitted with a sexy folded-link Jubilee bracelet, reference 6251H with 55 endlinks, stamped 1972, which gives the watch an even more charming and distinctly vintage feel. The fat-font red-back Pepsi bezel has faded beautifully, with the red turning into a rich raspberry tone and the blue into a soft faded jeans blue — exactly the kind of bezel ageing we love to see.
This is exactly the kind of GMT-Master that reminds us why the 1675 remains such a favourite among collectors. A rare and deeply attractive tropical MK1 Long E, with extraordinary warmth, beautiful honest ageing and all the charisma one could hope for.
