Being offered for sale is an extraordinary example of the iconic ref. 1675 Rolex GMT Master (1.7M Serial #) complete with the box, chronometer certificate, book, and a plethora of service documentation.

Please note that the serial number between the lugs has appears to have worn off during the life of the watch. The original owner wore it on a type of strap that wore into the case over the years. The movement number on the original chronometer certificate matches the movement inside the watch and there is also a service invoice from 1980 mentioning the serial number on the case was unreadable. The name of the original owner appears on all of the invoices and correspondence. He kept every piece of service documentation including a letter to Rolex with specific service instructions. The original owner has done a tremendous job preserving the originality of the watch and documenting its service history.

Details:

Dial: The original MK1 dial is in great condition with no noticeable damage. The dial and lume plots are 100% untouched. The dial and hands still faintly glow which is correct for this time period. There are a bit of flakes/dust on the dial, which came from the broken lume from the minute hand. These flakes can be easily dusted/cleaned off by a watchmaker. Any other sorts of blemishes that may appear in the photos are scratches or lint on the crystal and not on the actual dial.

Case: Previously polished stainless steel case is good condition with normal wear from use. The slightly faded original fuchsia insert is beautiful.

Additional: The watch comes with the original outer box, inner box, chronometer certificate, book, and service invoices.
