1978 Rolex GMT Master 1675 "Pepsi" Mk V Dial - $30,499
A cornerstone of vintage Rolex collecting, this Rolex GMT-Master 1675 "Pepsi" showcases everything enthusiasts appreciate about the reference—honest patina, iconic styling, and exceptional wrist presence. Originally introduced for Pan Am pilots to track multiple time zones, the GMT-Master has become one of Rolex's most celebrated and collectible professional models. This example features the signature 40mm stainless steel case paired with the unmistakable red and blue bidirectional aluminum "Pepsi" bezel insert, along with the classic red triangle-tipped GMT hand. The matte black dial is accented by beautifully aged tritium lume plots and a matching handset, both of which have developed a rich creamy patina that perfectly complements the vintage character of the watch. It retains its original acrylic crystal with Cyclops date magnification and is powered by the dependable Rolex Calibre 1575 automatic movement, offering approximately 48 hours of power reserve.
Bearing a 5.5 million serial number, this GMT-Master dates to approximately 1978. It remains fitted with its original Rolex 78360 Oyster bracelet with 10 links and 580 end links and is further distinguished by its original 1977-dated clasp stamped with the "B" code. The case is in excellent unpolished condition, exhibiting only light superficial wear consistent with careful ownership and decades of normal use. It maintains strong, well-defined proportions that give the watch an outstanding overall appearance both on the wrist and as part of a serious collection. The bracelet displays light surface scratching throughout along with minor dings and pitting, all consistent with the watch's age. As shown, this exceptional example is accompanied by its authentic Rolex outer box, authentic Rolex inner box, vintage GMT-Master booklet, original Rolex vinyl card holder, original 1978–1979 calendar card, original serialized Rolex hang tag, Certified Swiss Chronometer hang tag, and its original punched Rolex Guarantee papers with an open date.
