Rolex GMT-Master 1675/8 – 18k Yellow Gold – “Nipple Dial” – 1969

A rare and striking icon from Rolex’s golden age — this Rolex GMT-Master 1675/8, dating to 1969, pairs rich materials with functional purpose in a way only Rolex can.

Cased in solid 18k yellow gold, this early 1675/8 features the sought-after brown “nipple dial” with matching gold accents, warm creamy lume plots, and the classic bakelite-style insert in a faded red that’s aged beautifully over time. The dial shows an honest patina and retains its original charm with a deep, chocolate-toned hue that collectors prize.

The gold Oyster bracelet adds weight and wrist presence without sacrificing vintage elegance. This is not a modern reinterpretation — this is the real thing, from an era when Rolex was pioneering luxury tool watches in precious metals.

Whether you’re building out your vintage GMT collection or seeking an investment-grade piece that still turns heads, this 1675/8 offers vintage charisma with historical importance.
