Notes

A little odd in the line-up of sports watches, the gold 6542 GMT has to be considered one of the grails in the GMT-Master line. Made in small quantities and for a few years only, this example ticks all the boxes. Its all important bakelite bezel has been preserved in excellent condition, the dial has aged giving it a wonderful caramel brown color and the angles of the case has been well preserved.
