Heritage Narrative
The Rolex GMT-Master II, first introduced in 1982, was designed for international travelers and professionals, offering the ability to track multiple time zones with ease. Over the decades, it has become one of the most coveted sport models in Rolex’s collection, blending tool-watch functionality with unmistakable style. The reference 126711CHNR, nicknamed the “Root Beer,” was launched in 2018 and quickly gained popularity for its striking two-tone steel and Everose gold execution paired with a rich black-and-brown ceramic bezel.
This November 2024 example, reference 126711CHNR, features a 40 mm Oystersteel and Everose gold case, black dial with luminous hour markers, and a bi-color Cerachrom bezel insert in black and brown. The calibre 3285 movement provides a 70-hour power reserve, improved efficiency, and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer certification, ensuring precision across time zones. Offered in mint condition with its full set of box and papers, this watch represents one of the most desirable modern GMTs available today.
