RolexGMT-Master II

This one-owner GMT-Master II ref. 126711CHNR was purchased new by the vendor from a Rolex authorised dealer. It’s a full set and accompanied by the display box, outer box, warranty card, sleeve, booklets, swing tags and spare links. Rolex’s five-year international warranty covers this example until 2027. The vendor advises the watch is in unworn condition and has graded it ‘AAA’. The images appear consistent with that assessment, showing no signs of wear on the case or bracelet. 

The GMT-Master II has a long and celebrated history within the Rolex catalogue, and this reference is significant for being the first to feature rose gold. It’s part of Rolex’s modern generation of sports watches with the characteristic ‘super case’ that wears with more wrist presence than its 40mm dimensions would suggest.

Nicknamed the ‘Root Beer’ by enthusiasts, the watch features a rose gold bezel with a brown and black bi-colour “Cerachrom” insert. Also finished in gold are the crown, hour markers, hands and bracelet centre links. Rolex’s proprietary Chromalight luminous coating has been used on the hands and markers to maximise legibility to the wearer.

Housed underneath the screw-down case back is Rolex’s latest generation calibre 3285. This automatic movement is chronometer-certified and tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.
