Rolex GMT-Master II White Gold 126719BLRO – 2021

Rolex GMT-Master II (Ref. 126719BLRO) – The “Pepsi” in White Gold

The Rolex GMT-Master II with the reference 126719BLRO from the year 2021 is the luxurious enhancement of a classic. While the “Pepsi” in stainless steel (Ref. 126710BLRO) already enjoys legendary status, the version in 18-carat White Gold is the ultimate understatement for connoisseurs. It combines the iconic red-blue color combination with the weight and noble shine of solid gold.

The Aesthetics of “Midnight Blue”

A key feature of this reference is the dial. In 2021, this model was mainly available with the midnight blue dial (as opposed to the exclusive meteorite dial, which also exists for this reference). The deep blue perfectly harmonizes with the blue part of the Ceramic bezel and clearly distinguishes the watch at second glance from the black dial variant of the stainless steel version.

Technical Perfection: Cerachrom & Caliber 3285

• Two-tone Bezel: The bidirectional rotating bezel is made of Cerachrom Ceramic. The production of the red color in ceramic is considered a technical masterpiece, as red pigments are extremely unstable at the high firing temperatures.

• Caliber 3285: Inside beats the latest generation of GMT movements. It features the patented Chronergy escapement and offers an impressive power reserve of approx. 70 hours. Like all modern Rolex watches, it is certified as a “Superlative Chronometer” (+/- 2 seconds per day).

Physical Presence and Wearing Comfort

Although White Gold visually resembles stainless steel, the wearing experience is completely different. The significantly higher weight of the case and the solid Oyster bracelet conveys a sense of durability and substance. The bracelet is also equipped with the Easylink extension, which allows it to be extended by approx. 5 mm – a blessing for wearing comfort on warm days.
