The GMT-Master stands among Rolex’s most iconic tool watches, a creation born in the golden age of aviation, designed for Pan Am pilots navigating multiple time zones with effortless precision. The present example, fitted with a desirable Mk 5 matte black dial, displays the subtle typographic and luminous characteristics cherished by collectors for their period-correct authenticity.

Its original tritium hands and hour markers have aged to a warm, even patina, offering a harmonious contrast against the deep black surface of the dial. The presence of a later Rolex service case underscores the brand’s commitment to longevity and precision preserving the watch’s functionality while maintaining its vintage character.
A rare and evocative configuration, this GMT-Master embodies the enduring romance of exploration and the meticulous evolution of one of Rolex’s most storied models.
