Wimbledon-Furniture is delighted to offer for auction this stunning original 1966 Rolex GMT Master Pepsi / Pan am wrist watch with the super rare little GMT master hand
There are multiple high definition super-sized pictures at the bottom of this page
I’m listing my watch collection for sale, I have a Rolex 1997 Submariner no date, Rolex Pepsi GMT Master 1966 little Red GMT hand, Rolex GMT Master II Gold & Steel 1989 full set, BNIB LTD Edition 2012 Omega Speedy Tuesday full set, 2005 Breitling Navitimer 18ct gold and steel, this auction is for the watch mentioned above and below, the other watches are listed under my other items and not included in this auction
Originally known as the “Pan Am” because it was made for their Pilots then as “Pussy Galore” which is reference to the James Bond film Goldfinger where Honor Blackman wore the GMT with the sports band in 1959, now more recently as the “Pepsi Dial” because you guessed it the colours are of the old Pepsi cans
This watch comes with the original little GMT hand fitted and the larger GMT hand as a spare, both are original Rolex pieces from the era and not after market. You can see next to the little Rolex packet the larger tipped hand, the little GMT was discontinued in 1967 and GMT’s with the smaller hand are allot more collectable than those with the larger because it is like a poster which says that the watch is a pre 67 model so therefor old, valuable and super cool
Condition wise the watch is untouched, the lume on the hands has a greenish yellow tinge to it and has worn, some small pieces are missing, the bezel faded, the lume plots for the hour markers are orangey yellow and again have changed colour over the years. The plexi glass is original however there was a later Rolex screen fitted some time ago, I’ve had it removed and the original refitted, the newer one is included in the sale. The bracelet is the original Jubilee band
