Rolex
Some of the rarest, most historically important and valuable Rolex
wristwatches have been sold through the American retailer Tiffany &
Co. Few retailers have had a relationship with Rolex like Tiffany &
Co. has. The jeweler has proudly emblazoned its logo on a variety of
Rolex wristwatches, ranging from the GMT-Master to the Cosmograph
Daytona.
This watch, reference 16753, is a rare variant within
the GMT family as it is cased in both stainless steel and yellow gold.
It has a beautiful brown dial displaying Tiffany & Co, as well as a
caramel and chocolate bezel. Collectors dub this model the 'Root Beer'.
The present watch features no 'flaking' to the luminous dots, which is
extremely rare, as this particular dial is known easily crack over time.
The bezel remains vibrant, displaying a sharp gold and light brown
colour, giving the watch a very charismatic look. Moreover, there are
traces of a number scratched beneath the lug, consistent with other
Tiffany & Co. signed pieces from the era.
