Preowned Rolex GMT-Master 1675 "Ghost Bezel Pepsi" (1968) – A Rare Vintage Masterpiece
The Rolex GMT-Master 1675 "Ghost Bezel Pepsi" is a truly remarkable vintage timepiece, celebrated for its history, patina, and unique faded bezel insert. Originally designed for Pan Am pilots in the 1950s, the GMT-Master series became the go-to watch for travellers and professionals navigating multiple time zones.
This 1968 Rolex GMT-Master 1675 stands out with its naturally faded "Ghost Bezel", where the once-vibrant red and blue tones have softened over decades into a subtle, elegant pastel hue—giving this watch an unmistakable character.
Complete with its original box, papers, purchase receipt, and chronometer certificate, this example is a collector’s dream, offering both authenticity and rich provenance.

- 40mm Stainless Steel Case – A perfectly balanced size that maintains its vintage proportions while offering modern versatility.
- Patina Dial & Hour Markers – The original tritium markers have developed an even patina, enhancing the watch’s unique vintage charm.
- Plexiglass Crystal – A key vintage feature, preserving the watch’s 1960s heritage while offering a warm, classic look.
- Automatic Rolex Calibre 1570 – A legendary movement, known for its reliability and precision, still sought after by enthusiasts today.
