1981 Rolex 18K YG GMT-Master 16758 Nipple Dial

Sold

“Controlled Burn”


Case: The previously polished 18k yellow gold case is excellent with sharp prominent bevels. The case shows only very light wear from use. The bezel insert has faded to a silvery milk chocolate hue and shows only very light wear.

Dial: The brown nipple dial has faded to a rich deep amber hue with vibrant patches of slightly lighter amber around the markers and centerpost. The Lume has aged to a warm sandy hue and the hands have been relumed and color-matched to the dial.

Bracelet: The 18k yellow gold president bracelet has 20 links and shows very light stretch. The center links have been factory finished in a bark texture.

Accessories: None.

Notes: The deep amber "Fire Ball" dial is so irradiant that it almost appears backlit. This unbelievable 16758 is about as good as it gets.
