Rolex GMT-Master “Root Beer” 16753 – For Sale

The Rolex GMT-Master Ref. 16753 “Root Beer” is one of the most distinctive vintage GMT-Master models, known for its warm tones and iconic two-tone design.

Produced from the late 1970s through to the 1980s, the 16753 features a combination of stainless steel and 18ct yellow gold, paired with the signature brown and gold “Root Beer” bezel, giving the watch its instantly recognisable nickname.

The dial is equally distinctive, often featuring a rich brown or black finish with applied yellow gold “nipple” hour markers, adding to the model’s vintage character and unique aesthetic.

Housed in a 40mm Oyster case, the watch retains the classic GMT-Master functionality, allowing the wearer to track multiple time zones using the 24-hour hand and rotating bezel—originally developed for professional pilots.

Powered by the Rolex calibre 3075 automatic movement, the 16753 also benefits from a quickset date function, making it a practical upgrade over earlier GMT-Master references.
