Pre-Owned Rolex GMT-Master 16750 "Pepsi" (1989) – A Timeless Collectible
The Rolex GMT-Master 16750 "Pepsi" is an iconic travel watch that embodies vintage charm, functionality, and collectability. First introduced in the early 1980s, the 16750 was a transitional reference that introduced quickset date functionality while retaining the classic design of its predecessors. This 1989 example is in very good condition, complete with its original box, papers, and swing tags, making it a fantastic collector's piece.
Some watches are more than just timepieces—they are pieces of history. This Rolex GMT-Master 16750 "Pepsi", purchased brand new in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1989, is one such watch.
The original owner, an oil field worker, bought this watch with his very first bonus, marking a milestone in his career. He wore it daily, and over the years, it became a part of his journey. The clasp even retains traces of the oil fields, a testament to its real-world use. Now, this incredible watch is ready for its next chapter.
With its vibrant red and blue "Pepsi" bezel, aged patina on the hour markers, and robust automatic Rolex Calibre 3075 movement, this GMT-Master represents a perfect blend of vintage aesthetics and practical usability.
