2019 Rolex GMT-Master II 'Root Beer' Ref. 126711CHNR – Full Set with Box & Papers
About this item
Up for auction: a 2019 Rolex GMT-Master II reference 126711CHNR, the two-tone variant collectors have long called "Root Beer," offered complete with its original Rolex presentation box, documentation, and hangtags as pictured. The 40mm case combines Oystersteel with 18k Everose gold, riding on an Oyster bracelet built from that same material pairing.
Legibility isn't an afterthought here. Luminous hour markers and hands read clearly at a glance, the date window at 3 o'clock sits behind Rolex's Cyclops magnification lens, and a dedicated GMT hand tracks a second time zone at the same time. What most people fixate on, though, is the bidirectional rotating bezel — fitted with Rolex's brown and black Cerachrom ceramic insert, graduated on a 24-hour scale, which is the feature that gave the "Root Beer" nickname its staying power since this reference first appeared.
Power comes from Rolex's automatic Caliber 3285, covering hours, minutes, seconds, date, and GMT functions with an approximately 70-hour power reserve replenished through normal wrist wear. The GMT-Master II's second time zone function was conceived with frequent travelers in mind. Reference 126711CHNR delivers that same complication in a considerably dressier package than the full-steel variants — this example coming out of Florida.
