The Pan American World Airways, "Pan Am", one of the largest airlines founded in 1926, could have been one of the first important Rolex customers. This is why, in 1954, probably at the request of the "Pan Am", Rolex designed a new pilot wrist watch: the GMT Master. Fine, it receives an additional needle and a two-tone two-tone (blue and red), which allows you to have the instant reading of a second time zone. A watchmaking complication essential for the advent of long-haul flights.

Ref. 6542 is the first reference produced, followed by reference 1675 as the model we present.
This is the last year of manufacturing with a so -called "lacquered" dial and its swiss - T <25 registration.
