The Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116719BLRO in 18-karat white gold with the red-and-blue “Pepsi” Cerachrom bezel and black dial is one of the most distinctive precious-metal executions of Rolex’s travel icon. The 40 mm white-gold case retains the classic Oyster proportions, and the matching solid white-gold Oyster bracelet gives the watch a balanced, substantial feel on the wrist. The black dial provides sharp contrast for the white-gold hour markers and hands, while the red GMT hand ties the aesthetic together with the two-tone 24-hour bezel. The watch features the independent jumping local-hour hand, allowing quick adjustment when changing time zones, while the red 24-hour hand tracks home time on the bezel scale. The date display at 3 o’clock remains tied to local time and is magnified under the Cyclops lens. Its functionality remains true to the GMT-Master’s origins as a pilot’s tool, even as this reference presents it in an elevated precious-metal form. For collectors, the 116719BLRO stands out as the definitive white-gold “Pepsi,” known for its rarity, material prestige, and the desirable black dial configuration. It delivers the full heritage of the GMT-Master II—robust, functional, and instantly recognizable—while offering the exclusivity of precious metal and a colourway historically associated with the model’s most iconic references.
