Rolex GMT-Master in 18k Yellow Gold Ref 16758 with Original Guarantee Paper "Two Dials"
We are always stunned by how a combination of yellow gold and brown dials somehow just works! This particular piece has some lovely twists: you are looking at a reference 16758 in 18k yellow gold.
The Rolex GMT-Master reference 16758 was produced from approximately 1980 to 1988. It marked a significant evolution in the GMT-Master line, being the first to feature a sapphire crystal and a bidirectional click-spring bezel. It was powered by the automatic Caliber 3075 movement, which introduced a quick-set date function.
The ref. 16758 often came with the distinctive "nipple" dial—named for its raised, gold-trimmed hour markers—as this one does. This brown soleil-finished example has aged in an unusual and striking way, which we might even describe as a “burned tropical hue.” The text has faded evenly, with a lighter shade of orange-brown around the center and gradually darkening toward the outer rim. The case is in lovely condition and is fitted with a warm brown bezel insert. The bracelet is a seldom-seen 18k yellow gold riveted Oyster-type, reference 7206, with solid end links and a clasp stamped DE 4, and is in great condition!
But that's not all—this watch also comes with a second dial and an additional set of hands. The second dial has a similarly attractive brown tone but features larger markers, no discoloration, and is signed “Swiss Made,” indicating it is from a later period and features Super-LumiNova lume. This offers the opportunity to give the watch an entirely different look, should you choose to switch things up.
The watch also comes with its original punched warranty paper, showing it was sold in Hong Kong in 1986, and this cool GMT has been fully serviced by our watchmaker.
Whether you’re feeling “burned tropical hue” today or leaning more “lume and bloom” tomorrow—this GMT’s got you covered. Don’t let this golden chameleon slip away… your wrist deserves a vacation too. 🌴✨
