1981 Rolex 18K YG GMT-Master 16758 Tropical Nipple Dial
Sold
“The Photographer ”
Case: The thick and even 18K yellow gold case is excellent, showing wide, sharp, prominent bevels and only light wear from use. The bezel insert is also in excellent condition and has faded to a silvery copper hue, showing only light wear from use.
Dial: The nipple dial is excellent and has faded to a dark amber hue with patches of lighter amber speckled across its surface. The lume has aged to a warm creamy hue, and the hands have been relumed and color matched to the dial.
Bracelet: The extremely rare "Rolex Mexico" 18k yellow gold bark president bracelet is excellent showing only very light stretch for its age. The bracelet is original to the watch and will fit up to a 6 and 3/4th in (17.145cm) wrist.
Accessories: None.
Notes: The feeling evoked by a solid gold GMT-Master is something special. It's not the watch you take diving, mountaineering, or cave diving. Not that you couldn't, but there are better tools for those jobs. The Gold GMT-Master is at its best on the first day of your vacation, having a late breakfast on a sunny morning, with both the watch and the bezel set squarely to local time because you couldn't care less what time it is back home.
