Few watches capture the essence of purposeful design and timeless allure like the Rolex GMT-Master. Originally conceived in collaboration with Pan-Am Airways in the 1950s, the GMT-Master was built for aviators and transcontinental travelers alike, offering the ability to track multiple time zones with ease thanks to its 24-hour rotating bezel and additional hour hand.
The reference 16750, introduced in 1980, marked the next step in the GMT lineage. With a production period that lasted only until 1988, the 16750 occupies a short and sweet window in Rolex’s production history, making it especially appealing to discerning collectors.
Offered here is a truly exceptional example of the reference, one elevated to the highest echelons of desirability by the presence of the Tiffany & Co. signature on the dial. As if the historical significance of the GMT-Master weren’t enough, the co-signed dial by the famed New York retailer transforms this already rare timepiece into something monumentally special.
Preserved in attractive condition, with its original red-and-blue “Pepsi” bezel and Oyster bracelet, this watch is a cultural artifact, representing an era of air travel, retail sophistication, and Swiss watchmaking ambition.
