Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO is the 40mm white gold version of the classic dual-time-zone watch, fitted with the red-and-blue Cerachrom bezel nicknamed the 'Pepsi,' updated in 2019 alongside the in-house Calibre 3285. Cazador has no verified price observations yet. Its differential: alongside the standard midnight-blue dial, Rolex has also released a far rarer meteorite-dial version.

History

The white gold Rolex GMT-Master II with the red-and-blue bezel — nicknamed the 'Pepsi' by collectors since Rolex revived that color scheme in ceramic in 2014 — reached its current generation at Baselworld 2019, when the brand updated the reference with the in-house Calibre 3285 and assigned it the number 126719BLRO.

Unlike the Oystersteel version of the same Pepsi bezel (the 126710BLRO), this execution is cased entirely in 18k white gold: case, bezel, Oyster bracelet and hands all share the same precious metal, placing this reference at a different price and positioning tier within the GMT-Master II family — closer to jewelry than to a travel tool.

The bidirectional bezel retains the two-tone red-and-blue Cerachrom ceramic insert, in a slightly more muted tone than the aluminum bezels of earlier generations. The standard dial on this reference is midnight blue, though Rolex has also released a far less common variant with a dial cut from a slice of meteorite, whose natural crystalline pattern makes every example unique.

Inside runs the Calibre 3285, an in-house automatic movement with a Chronergy escapement, a Parachrom hairspring and roughly 70 hours of power reserve, certified as a Superlative Chronometer by Rolex. The GMT function reads a second time zone via an independent 24-hour hand synced to the graduated bezel.

Rated to 100 meters of water resistance, the 126719BLRO isn't built for diving — it's a long-haul traveler's watch in its most luxurious execution. As of this writing, the reference remains in Rolex's current catalog.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the Rolex 126719BLRO called the 'Pepsi'?

It's the collector nickname for the two-tone red-and-blue bezel, due to its resemblance to the soda brand's logo colors. Rolex has never officially used that name.

What is the difference between the 126719BLRO and the 126710BLRO?

Both share the Pepsi bezel and the Calibre 3285, but the 126719BLRO is cased entirely in 18k white gold, while the 126710BLRO is cased in Oystersteel.

How much does a Rolex GMT-Master II 126719BLRO cost?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference yet. We'll publish a range once sufficient sourced market data exists.

Is there a meteorite-dial version of this watch?

Yes. Rolex has released a variant of this reference with a dial cut from a slice of meteorite, far rarer than the standard midnight-blue dial.

What movement powers the 126719BLRO?

The in-house Calibre 3285, with a Chronergy escapement, roughly 70 hours of power reserve and Superlative Chronometer certification, introduced on this reference in 2019.

Is the white gold GMT-Master II a dive watch?

It's rated to 100 meters of water resistance, suitable for daily wear, but it isn't built as a professional dive tool the way the Submariner is.

Is this reference still in production?

Based on the catalog data we work from, the 126719BLRO has remained in active production since its 2019 introduction.
