Additional Informations: Welcome to the extraordinary opportunity to acquire an icon of horological craftsmanship – the Rolex GMT Master "Transitional" with reference 16758 in 18K gold. It represents a milestone in watchmaking history, being the first GMT from Rolex with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. What makes it truly special is that it retains the distinctive "Nipple-Dial" of its predecessors with plexiglass. This fusion of tradition and modernity lends the watch a distinctive aura, which would later transition to the round luminous indexes from the manufacturer.
The gold case of this timepiece is a work of art, adorned with unique oxidation traces, also known as patina. These delicate traces of time tell a unique story and infuse the watch with an authentic vintage charm. The fact that the watch remains unpolished preserves its historical integrity and original character.
The Jubilé bracelet with a concealed clasp not only enhances wearability but also emphasizes the watch's elegant aesthetics. The captivating dial shimmers between black, gray, and bronze depending on the angle of light, turning every gaze into a visual experience.
The watch comes with two additional bezels – one in brown and one in black – providing you with the flexibility to customize the watch's appearance to your preference.
The history of the Rolex GMT began in the 1950s when the airline Pan American World Airways was in search of a watch to assist its pilots in monitoring different time zones. The introduction of the GMT-Master, with GMT standing for "Greenwich Mean Time," revolutionized the world of timepieces. This GMT Master continues the tradition and expands it with unmistakable luxury.
This watch is more than just an accessory; it's a statement and a legacy that you can proudly wear. Please contact us if you need more informations about this piece...
