Rolex GMT-Master II “Rootbeer”

Ref. 126711CHNR | 2022

Few modern Rolex models command attention quite like the Rolex GMT-Master II “Rootbeer” 126711CHNR. A contemporary icon that blends sport and sophistication, this two-tone masterpiece in Oystersteel and 18k Everose gold delivers a bold yet refined presence on the wrist.

Originally inspired by the beloved vintage Rootbeer references of the 1960s and 1970s, the modern 126711CHNR reintroduces the warm brown and black ceramic Cerachrom bezel — a color combination that is both nostalgic and unmistakably modern. The rich Everose gold accents elevate the watch into a category of its own, making it equally at home in the boardroom or crossing time zones at 35,000 feet.

Powered by Rolex’s in-house Caliber 3285 movement, this GMT-Master II offers exceptional precision, a 70-hour power reserve, and independent hour hand adjustment for seamless travel functionality. The bidirectional 24-hour bezel allows the wearer to track multiple time zones effortlessly — a true tool watch wrapped in luxury.

The 2022 example offered here presents in excellent condition and comes as a complete full set, making it a compelling acquisition for collectors and investors alike.

The Rootbeer has quickly become one of the most sought-after modern GMT references, consistently demonstrating strong market demand and long-term desirability within the Rolex professional lineup.
