Rolex GMT-Master "Pussy Galore" ref. 6542 from ca 1959 - 55xxxx serial number. Beautiful Rolex GMT-Master 6542 in very fine condition. This watch features an extremely rare tritium chapter ring SCOC (Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified) dial, apparently exchanged during a rehaul in 1965. The dial itself is in very good condition, with a small chip in the 48 marker. The hands is also tritium hands and from the same timeframe as the dial. The patina on dial and hands matches perfectly. The case itself is in very good shape, with nice and visible serial and reference numbers between the lugs. In addition the the crown is a correct Brevet 6mm crown. The caseback is stamped 6542 and 1.1958. The bezel is a genuine Bakelite from the period, but scrubbed from Radium. The watch was most likely part of the watches recalled during the issue they had with Radium bezels, and the sent back scrubbed. The bezel is without any cracks and the patina is stellar. The movement is an automatic Cal 1035 and it still retains the original Butterfly rotor. The bracelet was also changed during the 1965 overhaul. Luckily to the rare rivet flushfit 6636 Oyster bracelet, here in exceptionally good condition. The Big Logo clasp is stamped in 1965 and end pieces is the correct 80. The watch comes with a 1950s box and an open Chronometer certificate printed in 1958.
