DESCRIPTION
A U.S. veteran’s decision to buy a Rolex GMT-Master in the 1960s has turned out to be one of the best investments of his life. Back then, he paid $120 for the watch, which was more than his monthly salary. Fast forward to today, and that very timepiece is worth between $65,000 to $75,000 on the secondary market. What makes this Rolex so valuable? It’s the GMT-Master 6542, a model introduced in 1954, designed with the help of Pan American World Airways to assist pilots in tracking multiple time zones. The 6542 is especially prized for its 38mm stainless steel case, the rare Bakelite bezel, and the absence of crown guards, all of which contribute to its classic vintage look.
The Rolex Caliber 1036 movement powers this iconic watch, which even made a cameo in the James Bond film “Goldfinger,” worn by Honor Blackman. With surviving examples featuring the original Bakelite bezel becoming increasingly rare, these watches often sell for six figures at auction, making them a crown jewel in any serious collection.
