Description
You have to look far and wide to find a completely original Rolex GMT Master reference 6542. 99.9% of the time the original Bakelite bezel insert has been replaced and/or the original bezel structure has been replaced.
Forget about finding an original untouched gilt railroad track dial with original red small arrow 24 hour hand.
Well, look no further! This watch is a collectable treasure.
Original case is stainless steel with dimensions of 38mm diameter by 13.2mm thick. The big story with this case is that it still has its original bezel and Bakelite bezel insert (very rare indeed!).
The case is also remarkable in that it does not have crown guards, which is another desirable feature. Case has fat lugs and is in excellent original condition. Screw down crown operates flawlessly.
Serial number 381XXX dates production to 1958.
Original movement is the automatic winding Rolex Caliber 1030 with 25 jewels - and adjusted to 5 positions and temperature. Movement is operating well and is clean. This movement is a C.O.S.C. Certified Chronometer.
The original black gilt glossy rail track dial is 100% untouched and MINT. It is just beautiful! Here the dial highlights:
- gilt printing
- railroad track minutes chapter
- original untouched luminous on dial and original hands
- 100% matching patina between gilt printing, luminous and hands
- Original, small arrow red 24 hour hand
- Alternating red and black colors date wheel (“roulette” date wheel)
Bracelet is a stainless steel riveted Rolex Oyster replacement bracelet.
This is a beautiful and extremely collectable early GMT Master. The market is hot for all original 6542s since there are so few completely original watches remaining.
