The Pan-Am Icon
The Rolex GMT-Master reference 16750 occupies an important place in the history of aviation watches. Introduced in the late 1970s, it represents a period of transition for the GMT-Master line, incorporating technological advances while preserving the iconic design elements that have made the "Pepsi" legendary. Exuding charm and character, with its 40 mm stainless steel case featuring a distinguished patina that tells the story of its journey through time, and the iconic red and blue "Pepsi" bezel, crafted aluminium has developed a beautiful patina, adding a vibrant touch to the watch, recalling Rolex's pioneering spirit in creating functional and elegant timepieces for globetrotters.
Featuring Rolex's signature GMT complication, this reference 16750 allows the wearer to track two time zones simultaneously, making it an formidable tool for travellers and pilots. The robust, water-resistant Oyster case is paired with the bracelet of the same name, offering a balance between durability and comfort on the wrist. This combination underlines Rolex's commitment to form and function.
Powered by the calibre 3075 movement, renowned for its reliability and precision, this COSC-certified movement ensures accurate chronometry in all situations, whether in the cockpit or on the ground.
Presented in excellent vintage condition, this 1981 reference 16750 has been meticulously preserved, retaining its original charm and functionality. Its complete case, accessories and papers further enhance its desirability and provenance, offering collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of watchmaking history.
