Rolex GMT-Master 'Root Beer'

In our opinion, there are few things cooler than a two-tone Rolex GMT-Master! We're continually on the lookout for these special watches as they combine the outstanding functionality of a Rolex GMT-Master with unmatched looks and tremendous value. They also came in a number of different subtle variations with different dial and bezel configurations, precious metal weights, and bracelet options. This particular example, a Reference 16753 'Root Beer', dates to circa 1978-1979 and features a 39mm Oyster case with holey lugs with a beautiful glossy brown nipple dial and a matching handset, a bi-directional rotating 24hr GMT bezel with a crisp brown and cream 'root beer' insert, and a matching two-tone Jubilee bracelet with a signed blade clasp. While admittedly not for everyone, there is something about a two-tone GMT-Master that, to us, just works. Be it the versatility, or the relative value next to its full-gold and full-steel counterparts, two-tone offers a compelling value proposition for the GMT-Master line. This one's just got a little more fizz.
