Why It Matters
The ref. 6542 is the original GMT-Master reference, developed during the expansion of intercontinental air travel. A fourth hand and rotating 24-hour bezel allow a second time zone to be read. Its first-generation status gives it historical importance, while original components and condition distinguish individual watches.
