{"title":"GMT-Master \"Root Beer\"","description":"The Rolex GMT-Master \"Root Beer\" takes its name from the warm brown-and-gold color combination that has characterized certain GMT-Master references across multiple generations, evoking the amber hues of the classic American soft drink. The original Root Beer was the two-tone GMT-Master, pairing a yellow gold case and bracelet with a brown-and-gold bezel insert on references including the 16713 and the earlier 1675 in two-tone configuration. These vintage and near-vintage two-tone references developed a passionate following among collectors who prized their warmth and wearability compared to full gold or full steel alternatives. In 2018 and 2019, Rolex revived the Root Beer spirit in a new form: the full Everose gold ref. 126715CHNR with a brown and black ceramic bezel, and the Oystersteel and Everose Rolesor ref. 126711CHNR — both on Jubilee bracelets. The new Root Beer references prompted immediate collector interest and secondary market premiums, validating the enduring appeal of the warm colorway. Pre-owned Root Beer GMT-Master watches across all generations remain among the most emotionally resonant and aesthetically distinctive pieces in the Rolex secondary market.
