Perfect Patina! Rolex’s GMT-Master series is imbued with the mid-century glamour of early air travel. Designed for the pilots of Pan Am, the reference 6542’s rotating bezel tracks two time zones simultaneously - its two-tone red and blue signalling the hours of night and day. This particular example takes things to new heights with gorgeous original traits: a Bakelite bezel (later often replaced by plastic or metal) and a rich golden brown ‘tropical’ dial. Offering highly prized features for today’s vintage watch collectors, the watch is among the highlights of our upcoming sale of Important Watches in #Geneva on 13 November with an estimate of CHF 80,000 - 120,000. Exhibition in Geneva, 10-12 Nov, 10am to 6pm! #sothebyswatches #sothebysgeneva #Rolex #vintagerolex #vintagewatch #tropicaldial #gmtmaster
