Rolex GMT-Master 1675 PCG Cornino Glossy Gilt Heavy Patina Zinc Sulfide Pepsi 1960 (Serviced)

Rolex GMT-Master 1675 PCG – Early Gilt Dial Icon

Rolex, founded in 1905, is regarded as one of the most influential watchmakers in history, known for its innovation, precision, and iconic designs. Among its most celebrated creations is the GMT-Master, introduced in 1955 for professional pilots and developed in collaboration with Pan American Airways to track multiple time zones simultaneously.

The GMT-Master 1675, launched in 1959, became one of the longest-produced and most recognizable references in the collection. Distinguished by its dual-color bezel and robust Oyster case, the 1675 introduced significant design evolutions, including pointed crown guards (PCG) in its early production. The gilt dials from this period are particularly prized by collectors for their depth and character, especially as they age with unique patina. The 1675 PCG holds a special place in Rolex history, representing both technical advancement and the early design language of one of the brand’s most iconic tool watches.
