Rolex GMT-Master II 'Pepsi'

About this reference

The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126710BLRO entered production in 2018 and remains in the current catalog. Collectors prioritize this reference for its Cerachrom bidirectional bezel in red and blue, a color scheme historically associated with the original 1954 GMT-Master. This model features the caliber 3285 movement, which incorporates the Chronergy escapement and offers a 70-hour power reserve. The 40mm Oystersteel case was initially launched exclusively on a five-link Jubilee bracelet, though an Oyster bracelet option became available in 2021. On the secondary market, prices typically range from $18,000 to $22,000 depending on the year and condition. A notable production detail involves the "Mk1" bezel inserts from 2018, which exhibit more pastel shades of pink and purple compared to the deeper red and blue tones found on later iterations, often commanding a premium among specialized collectors.
