A 6542 PanAm white dial desk pilot GMT. Rare enough that there is some disagreement on whether it ever existed. Rolex, of course, is of no help and has never confirmed nor denied if the watch was actually produced.

Not so fast, don't spend all your prize money just yet. The Steve McQueen Explorer II is even rarer. Not sure if even Steve McQueen himself ever saw it.

The PanAm Daytona is a non-starter for me

Paul newman yachtmaster?

Headshrinker · 20 June 2015, 12:38 PM

I have a friend in Europe that has a Comex 1680. It looks exactly like mine, but I am told the Comex markings on a 1680 are extremely rare. I have been trying to buy it from him for several years now...maybe some day he'll relent.

Pretty much all the awesome watches I see in the vintage section here

some day

The PN reference is to the rarer sub-dial font, not the person.

There are only 3 known examples of the early Yachtmaster with that specific dial....

John Goldberger has one of them; a famous rock guitar player has the second, and I think the 3rd one is in the Rolex Geneva safe...

Rare and desirable and available to buy if you have a spare six figure sum hanging around: one of those superb 1950s moon-phase watches.

Have to agree with the Seadweller, according to the article only 6 are known today. You won't find one here in the for sale section

I never understood why the SD has a date feature. It was designed for deep dives. What good is the date for when you're 1000 feet below?

Very interesting John. There are people that consider some of these "rare font" dials to be nothing more than internet hype, yet here's Rolex perhaps hoarding one away in a safe the bowels of the mother ship somewhere deep underground.

breitlings · 21 June 2015, 02:07 AM

I was under the impression only 3 original yacht masters are known with any font.

has got to be the Single-red Seadweller - still not a bad price when they do come up and come up they do - I know of one for sale in a collection, authenticated by one of the auction houses

I think they wanted about $450,000 for it

Yeah, not a bad price...if you're a billionaire.

My 1908 Wilsdorf & Davis ladies pendant watch, from the same year Hans Wilsdorf registered the Rolex tradename.

arguetaoscar · 18 November 2015, 03:24 AM

Not the rarest, but definitely not a common watch. White GMT!
