Rolex "Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master officially certified Chronometer", Movement No. DN681041, Case No. 212544, Ref. 6542, Cal. 1030, 38 mm, circa 1956
A very attractive, vintage automatic wristwatch with 24h indicator, date and "gilt dial" - without crown guard
Case: steel, screw back ref. 6542 IV/56, bidirectional rotating black bezel with radial Arabic 24 hours (inlay aftermarket), screwed "Twinlock" winding crown, extremely long and folded steel "Jubilee" bracelet, ref. 6251H with endlinks stamped 55, clasp dated 1/72, bracelet length 170 mm, total length 215 mm. Dial: black, original service dial and hands, warm luminous indexes, long and slim red 24-hour hand.
The present watch is one of the first examples of GMT-Master, reference 6542 and the most sought after Rolex GMT Master model.
The GMT has gone through countless variations. It's instantly recognizable by the long and slim hand for the second timezone, and the lack of crown guards on the case.
