Description
The Rolex GMT-Master 16758 in 18 Karat Yellow Gold is a milestone in the evolution of the GMT series. Introduced as the successor to the legendary 1675/8, this reference marks the transition from a pure tool watch to a luxurious sports watch. It combines the nostalgic charm of early pilot watches with the robustness of modern technology.
The case made of solid Yellow Gold gives the watch enormous presence and warmth. The reference 16758 was the first GMT-Master in Gold equipped with a scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal, making it significantly more resistant to environmental influences than its predecessors with Acrylic Glass. The bidirectional rotating bezel with a 24-hour scale allows, in combination with the GMT hand, the simultaneous reading of two time zones.
Especially sought after are examples of this reference with the so-called “Nipple Dial”. These dials are characterized by applied, conical Gold indices filled with luminous material in the center. Often in deep Black or radiant Brown (Serti variants also exist), these indices give the watch a three-dimensionality and a distinctive vintage vibe, which was gradually replaced by flat indices in the late 80s.
Technically, the 16758 marked a big leap forward with the Caliber 3075. This movement introduced the Quickset function for the Date in the GMT-Master line for the first time, greatly facilitating everyday operation. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it is a prime example of Rolex precision and durability.
Worn on the solid Jubilee or Oyster bracelet made of Yellow Gold, the 16758 is a statement for connoisseurs. It is the perfect choice for collectors seeking a watch that breathes the historical DNA of the GMT-Master while offering full everyday usability thanks to the Sapphire Crystal and the improved movement. A Gold Rolex that stands like few others for the international jet set of the 1980s.
