The inception of the Rolex GMT Master dates back to 1954, marked by the introduction of the reference 6542. Remarkably, this iconic model continues its production today, known as the GMT Master II. Distinguishing itself, the GMT-Master II boasts a movement that allows independent adjustment of the hour hand. This unique feature permits one-hour adjustments without halting the second hand or causing any disruption to the minute or 24-hour hands. The featured timepiece is a splendid representation of this enduring lineage, impeccably preserved over time. Its stainless steel case is adorned with the iconic bracelet, and the black dial showcases luminescent markers, Mercedes-style hands, and a distinctive red arrowhead indicating the 24-hour scale. The bidirectional revolving bezel, calibrated for 24 hours, exhibits the classic two-tone design in black and red, affectionately known as the “Coke” bezel. This watch is complemented by its original Rolex Box, Booklets, Receipt, and an Additional Link, enhancing its desirability and completeness for discerning collectors.
