Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Pepsi – Jubilee’ – Reference 126710BLRO (2020)

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex GMT-Master was originally developed in the 1950s in collaboration with Pan American Airways to meet the needs of professional pilots navigating multiple time zones. Its defining feature, the ability to track two time zones simultaneously, quickly made it an essential tool for international travel and one of Rolex’s most recognizable professional models.

The reference 126710BLRO represents the modern evolution of this historic line. Introduced as the second generation GMT-Master II with a ceramic bezel, it features Rolex’s proprietary Cerachrom insert in the iconic red and blue “Pepsi” color scheme. Manufactured entirely in-house, Cerachrom is virtually scratch-resistant and fade-proof, ensuring long-term durability without compromising aesthetics.

This example, first sold in November 2020, pairs the stainless steel case with the Jubilee bracelet, a combination favored by collectors for its comfort and balanced visual presence. The bracelet is equipped with Rolex’s Easylink extension system, allowing a 5 mm adjustment for improved wearability throughout the day.

Offered in unpolished condition and as a full set, this GMT-Master II stands as a contemporary classic, blending historic design cues with modern Rolex engineering.
