Catalogue Essay First launched in 1955, the GMT was originally manufactured for pilots to keep track of two different time zones. Over fifty years later, the GMT model still retains popularity among aviators and watch collectors. The present watch is an exceedingly rare example from the 1960s, as the watch is fitted with a very special gray bezel. The bezel has faded over time, giving the watch a very attractive appearance. The numerals and graphics on the dial have also aged to a warm orange tone, which match the hands on the dial. Coupled together, these elements present a very compelling and charismatic look.

Like no other company, the success of the wristwatch can be attributed to many of Rolex's innovations that made them one of the most respected and well-known of all luxury brands. These innovations include their famous "Oyster" case — the world's first water resistant and dustproof watch case, invented in 1926 — and their "Perpetual" — the first reliable self-winding movement for wristwatches launched in 1933. They would form the foundation for Rolex's Datejust and Day-Date, respectively introduced in 1945 and 1956, but also importantly for their sports watches, such as the Explorer, Submariner and GMT-Master launched in the mid-1950s. One of its most famous models is the Cosmograph Daytona. Launched in 1963, these chronographs are without any doubt amongst the most iconic and coveted of all collectible wristwatches. Other key collectible models include their most complicated vintage watches, including references 8171 and 6062 with triple calendar and moon phase, "Jean Claude Killy" triple date chronograph models and the Submariner, including early "big-crown" models and military-issued variants.
