Reference:16758: Difference between revisions

Line 161:

The SARU shares reference 16758 with the regular gold GMT-Master. Authentication therefore depends on the gem-set components, case and movement numbers, provenance, and service history. Auction catalogues describe the cited examples as factory watches, but Rolex production records for the branch are not published in the sources reviewed.

~~=== Sport-watch-in-evening-dress positioning ===~~

The regular 16758 and its gem-set branches show how the GMT-Master reference was offered in both plain gold and jewellery-set configurations. The sources do not establish a Rolex marketing category or a Cellini customer target, so those interpretations are left out.
