Rolex GMT-Master 16750 Description

A significant transitional reference that combined vintage aesthetics with modern mechanics. Its primary importance was the introduction of the Cal. 3075 movement, which featured a high-beat frequency (28,800 vph) and a convenient quickset date function. Early models retained the classic matte dial with painted markers, while later versions featured glossy dials with white gold indices, marking a shift towards modern Rolex design. The 16750 offers the best of both worlds: vintage charm and contemporary functionality.
