Introduced in 2014, the Rolex GMT-Master II Reference 116719BLRO marked the celebrated return of the iconic red and blue “Pepsi” bezel to the collection, this time in white gold. A direct descendant of the dual-time pilot’s watches first launched in the 1950s, this reference combines Rolex’s technical mastery with timeless design.


The 116719BLRO was the first Rolex to feature a Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel in two colors—a remarkably difficult innovation—seamlessly transitioning between vivid red and deep blue tones. The watch is powered by the Calibre 3186, offering independent hour adjustment for time zone changes, a hallmark of the GMT-Master line. Its black dial, paired with the weight and warmth of white gold, gives the watch a distinctly modern, refined, and understated look, while preserving the spirit of the original “Pepsis” worn by aviators and world travelers alike. Now discontinued and succeeded by the steel “Pepsi” of 2018, the white gold 116719BLRO remains a sought-after classic that bridges Rolex’s tool-watch roots with its contemporary luxury status. We are pleased to present the present 116719BLRO in unworn and stickered condition complete with its full suite of accessories.
