Rolex GMT-Master 16753 Description

The two-tone steel and gold version of the transitional GMT-Master, significant for defining luxury travel in the 1980s. It paired the modern quickset date function of the Cal. 3075 with a bold two-tone aesthetic. Its most iconic version is the “Root Beer,” featuring a brown dial, nipple markers, and a brown/gold bezel insert. The 16753 captured the opulent zeitgeist of its era, becoming a status symbol by blending robust functionality with conspicuous luxury.
