Rolex GMT Rose Gold

The Rolex GMT-Master II in rose gold is one of the most coveted and charismatic travel watches in the world, famously known by its iconic nickname, the “Root Beer.” Merging the warmth of Rolex’s proprietary 18k Everose gold with a distinctive brown and black ceramic bezel, this GMT rose gold timepiece is a modern classic. It’s a masterful blend of vintage-inspired aesthetics and cutting-edge watchmaking technology.


The Legend of the "Root Beer" GMT

The "Root Beer" nickname pays homage to vintage GMT-Master models from the 1970s that featured brown dials and bezels. The modern iteration, the Rolex GMT-Master II Rose Gold, revived this beloved colorway with a high-tech twist. Its bidirectional bezel is crafted from a single piece of black and brown Cerachrom, a virtually scratchproof ceramic that won't fade over time. This unique color combination, paired with the lustrous rose gold, makes the "Root Beer" a standout piece in any collection.

The Craftsmanship of Everose Gold

The stunning hue of the rose gold GMT is due to Rolex's exclusive Everose alloy. Patented and produced in Rolex's own foundry, it contains a precise blend of gold, copper, and platinum. The platinum ensures the warm, pink color will never fade, maintaining the beauty of your Rolex rose gold GMT for generations. This commitment to quality is what sets Rolex apart.

Price and Investment Value

The Rolex GMT-Master II in rose gold is a highly sought-after model with excellent value retention. The two-tone version typically ranges from $20,000 to $28,000, while the full Everose gold model commands a price of $45,000 to $60,000, depending on condition and market demand. Both are considered strong investments for any serious watch enthusiast.
