The classic 40 mm Oyster case is complemented by a bidirectional rotating bezel with a brown 24-hour insert. The lacquered dial displays a rich brown tone, enhanced by gilt lettering and characteristic raised, conical applied gold hour markers, commonly referred to by collectors as “Nipple” indexes, giving the watch its unmistakable vintage appearance. The watch is powered by the Rolex automatic calibre 1575 GMT, a chronometer movement equipped with a second-time-zone function, allowing the simultaneous reading of two different time zones through its additional 24-hour hand. Of particular interest is the 18K yellow-gold Rolex Oyster bracelet with riveted-link construction, fitted with a Rolex-signed folding clasp bearing the 750 gold hallmark. This example is preserved in excellent condition, displaying a particularly attractive combination of first-series lacquered brown dial, matching bezel insert and riveted gold bracelet. A highly desirable collector’s configuration, perfectly capturing the distinctive elegance and character of early-1970s gold Rolex GMT-Master watches.
