Rolex GMT-Master – Ref. 16750 – “Pepsi” Bezel – Year 1982 – Cal. 3075 – Steel Jubilee Bracelet – Serviced
Offered here is a highly desirable and beautifully preserved example of the Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16750, serial 71xxxxx, dating to approximately 1982 — part of the sought-after transitional series that bridges vintage Rolex character with mechanical modernity.

This reference is known for introducing the automatic Caliber 3075, which brought two major upgrades to the GMT line: a quick-set date and hacking seconds (stopping the second hand when setting the time) — both crucial improvements for daily practicality.

The watch features the iconic "Pepsi" bezel insert in red and blue aluminum, evoking Rolex's aviation roots and long-haul travel identity. The dial is matched with vintage tritium hour plots and hands, giving the piece a warm, collector-grade patina.

It is offered on the original stainless steel Rolex Jubilee bracelet — considered one of the most admired and comfortable bracelets in Rolex’s history. Light, supple, and unmistakably vintage, it complements the 40 mm case with elegance and wrist presence. Bracelet fits wrists up to approximately 18.5 cm.

Why Collect This Watch
The Rolex GMT-Master 16750 represents a perfect midpoint between the classic 1675 and the later sapphire-era GMTs. It retains vintage charm — with its warm tritium dial and acrylic crystal — while offering more reliable and usable movement upgrades. Fitted with the original Jubilee bracelet, it wears with timeless style and comfort.

This example, with its 1982 serial, Pepsi bezel, and full service history, is a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Rolex history that’s ready for both everyday wear and future appreciation.
