Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLRO - Jubilee - Full Set - Like New

Few watches are as immediately recognisable as the Rolex GMT-Master II. Born from the needs of international aviation and designed to allow travellers to read two time zones simultaneously, the model has evolved into one of Rolex’s most celebrated sports watches, combining genuine functionality with an unmistakable visual identity.

Reference 126710BLRO is distinguished by its iconic red and blue Cerachrom bezel, universally known as the “Pepsi”. Crafted from Rolex’s highly resistant ceramic and featuring platinum-coated numerals, the bezel provides excellent durability while preserving the vivid contrast that has become synonymous with the GMT-Master II. The 40 mm Oystersteel case and distinctive two-colour bezel give the watch its instantly recognisable presence.

Particularly noteworthy is the five-link Jubilee bracelet, which gives the reference a more refined and sophisticated character than its Oyster-bracelet counterpart. The combination of the “Pepsi” bezel with the Jubilee bracelet has become one of the defining configurations of the modern GMT-Master II, offering an elegant contrast between the technical character of the watch and the more sophisticated appearance of its bracelet.

At its heart beats Rolex calibre 3285, a self-winding mechanical movement developed specifically for the GMT-Master II. Featuring the Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring and Superlative Chronometer certification, the movement allows independent adjustment of the local hour hand while maintaining approximately 70 hours of power reserve. The GMT function enables simultaneous reading of a second time zone, preserving the practical purpose for which the model was originally conceived.

The present example, delivered in 2025 and accompanied by its complete Full set (including Box, outer box, Warranty, Warranty holder, green tag and booklets) has been used exceptionally little and remains in virtually like-new condition. It presents with an exceptionally crisp overall appearance, showing only the most minimal signs of careful handling (particularly in the area of the deployment): the limited use further preserves the original character of the case, bezel and Jubilee bracelet (16 links total).

Of particular interest to collectors is the discontinuation of reference 126710BLRO, adding a new dimension to its appeal. The combination of the legendary “Pepsi” Cerachrom bezel, Jubilee bracelet, final-period production and exceptionally limited use makes this a particularly compelling opportunity to acquire a virtually like-new example of one of the most recognisable and desirable modern GMT-Master II references.
