Description: While we never advise clients that any watch is an investment, there are certain brands that seem to remain well and truly on the radar of collectors and watch lovers over time. Among those that surely deserves a permanent place as iconic and desirable is Rolex. Rolex’s sport and diving models are enjoying a period of appreciation right now that is both deserved, and showing no signs of abating. The range of GMT Masters the brand has released over the years, with its varied coloured dials has spawned more nicknamed models than any other. Offered here is a calibre that enjoys not one, but two of these nicknames, perhaps three! Rootbeer, Eye of the Tiger and Tigereye all surface when referring to this model and colourway.

This particular piece is offered as a full set, with its original inner and outer box, and papers. A one owner since new in 1995, the watch has seen only sporadic careful wear, and while it shows light marking to the case and bracelet and buckle, it has never been polished, and arguably doesn’t need to be now. It wears beautifully on the wrist for a far more recent pieceThis watch is offered on consignment, and includes balance of manufacturer’s warranty and is therefore not supplied with Fine Watches Warranty.
