1978 Rolex GMT-Master 1675 MK5 w/ Box & Papers Unpolished
Well-preserved.
$24,750
OVERVIEW
This might be the 3000th Rolex 1675 I’ve ever had (I’m exaggerating) but when they show up in this kind of pristine condition, it feels like the first time. While many people looking for a Rolex 1675 might be attracted to the various shades of Pepsi colors a bezel can potentially evolve to, there is something very cool about finding an example that looks pretty close to what Rolex originally intended aesthetically. Still though, this one does have the added charm of warm creamy patina and just a slightly different azure blue + strawberry red insert.
You could search for a very long time until you find an example like this and as luck would have it, here it is. Don’t do what you always do and think about it too long before you finally get the courage to message me right before I tell you that just it sold last night. As I always say, life is short. Now’s your chance.
