Rolex GMT-Master 16758 Description

The solid 18k yellow gold version of the 1980s transitional GMT-Master. It represented the pinnacle of luxury sports watches of its era, combining the modern quickset Cal. 3075 with an opulent full-gold construction. It is also significant for being the platform for the rare and valuable factory gem-set “SARU” models, which featured bezels set with sapphires, rubies, and diamonds. The 16758 transformed the functional pilot’s watch into an ultimate symbol of success and high jewelry.
