Rolex for Tiffany & Co. GMT Master Pepsi Watch and 19th Century Cretan Yataghan Lead Fine Estate’s Upcoming Sale

Popular among sports watch models, the Rolex for Tiffany & Co. GMT Master Pepsi watch is a co-branded timepiece. The half-blue and half-red bezel is known to be inspired by the hues of Pan American Airways’ logo. The airlines had originally commissioned the watch from Rolex for its pilots. A 1966 Rolex for Tiffany & Co., GMT Master, “Pepsi,” Ref 1675 is a key highlight of the upcoming Fine Estate auction. The black dial is round with luminous dot, triangle, and rectangle hour markers, white outer minutes track, and small arrow GMT hands. The Oyster Perpetual watch features a case with a stainless steel body and twinlock double safety winding crown. Another notable accessory in the sale is a fly-motif pin styled with blue eyes and a colorless Lucite abdomen. With the wings and thorax accented by colorless rhinestones, it is set in sterling silver and marked “Trifari.”

A large 19th-century Cretan yataghan leads the collectibles section of the catalog. Its silver scabbard is designed with scrollwork, a dragon head tip, and a banded locket. The curved single-edge blade, with etched patterns on either side, has a silver overlay hilt with incised ornamentation.
