About This Watch
The Rolex GMT-Master II 126718GRNR in full yellow gold with a green and black Cerachrom ceramic bezel was introduced at Watches and Wonders 2023 and immediately became one of the most talked-about releases of the year. The combination of warm yellow gold with the green and black "Sprite" bezel creates a unique and bold aesthetic that differs markedly from the traditional gold GMT-Master color palettes. The green of the bezel insert is more muted against the gold case than it appears on the steel Destro model, creating a sophisticated harmony between the two tones. The caliber 3285 provides the independently adjustable local hour hand and 70-hour power reserve expected of the modern GMT-Master II. The full yellow gold case and Oyster bracelet give this model substantial weight and unmistakable luxury. Unlike its left-handed steel counterpart, this gold variant maintains the traditional right-side crown position. The black lacquer dial with gold applied hour markers provides excellent legibility and a classic contrast with the case metal. This reference has proven popular with collectors who appreciate the novelty of the green-black bezel combination elevated to the ultimate luxury level through the full gold execution.
