The Rolex GMT-Master ref. 16750 is considered a transitional reference for the model. Some of the early examples retained the matte dials of the predecessor ref. 1675, but featured a new upgraded movement with a quick-set date. Other later ref. 16750 examples featured white gold borders circling the lume plots, a modern characteristic that continues today. Rolex produced the ref. 16750 until about 1988, a short period of eight years compared to the 21-year tenure of the ref. 1675.
