ROLEXGMT-Master, Ref. 16758A Yellow Gold Wristwatch with Bracelet Circa 1981 Dial: black Caliber: cal. 3075 automatic, 27 jewels Case: yellow gold, screw-down back Closure: yellow gold Rolex Jubilee bracelet and folding clasp Dimensions: 40 mm, bracelet circumference approx. 180 mmSigned: case, dial and movementCase numbers: ref. 16758 / serial: 7092867 To sit alongside the robust stainless steel version of its famed pilot’s watch, Rolex also made luxurious 18k yellow gold variations of the GMT-Master. The yellow gold GMT-Master 16758 was first introduced in 1981, and only remained in production for a relatively short time until it was discontinued in 1988. Contrasting with the warm gold tones of the case, bracelet, and hands, this ref. 16758 features a black dial and a matching black rotating bezel. The use of the 24-hour marked bezel in conjunction with the 24-hour hand allows users to simultaneously reference a second time zone. Although the steel counterpart of the 16758 was fitted with an acrylic crystal, Rolex opted for modern scratch-resistant sapphire for the crystal of the yellow gold version. A glamorous take on one of Rolex’s most famous tool watches, this full-gold vintage GMT-Master 16758 is an excellent an luxury-oriented example of Rolex’s iconic pilot’s watch.
