About the Rolex GMT-Master II 126711

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126711CHNR is the two-tone Rolex Root Beer, combining an Oystersteel case with 18k Everose gold accents and a brown and black Cerachrom ceramic bezel. If you are looking for a pre-owned Rolex 126711 for sale, WatchGuys carries authenticated examples backed by a 2-year warranty. Introduced alongside the steel Pepsi at Baselworld 2018, the 126711 brought Rolex's proprietary Everose gold to the Rolex GMT-Master II collection for the first time. The CHNR suffix stands for "Chocolat Noir" (brown black), referencing the distinctive bezel color combination that earned this watch its Root Beer nickname.

Rolex 126711CHNR Specifications

The 126711CHNR features a 40mm case constructed in Everose Rolesor, which pairs Oystersteel with 18k Everose gold on the crown, crown guards, bezel, and centre bracelet links. The black dial uses 18k Everose gold indices and hands, giving it a warm tone that complements the brown and black Cerachrom bezel. Inside is the Caliber 3285 movement with a 70-hour power reserve, the same movement found across the current GMT-Master II lineup. The watch is fitted exclusively with the three-link Oyster bracelet, where the centre links are polished Everose gold and the outer links are satin-finished Oystersteel. Water resistance is rated to 100 meters.

Rolex 126711 Price

Pre-owned Rolex 126711 prices depend on condition, production year, and whether box and papers are included. As of early 2026, most examples trade between $15,000 and $20,000, with unworn full-set pieces at the higher end. The retail price is approximately $17,400, which means the 126711 trades close to or slightly above retail on the secondary market, a notably different dynamic than the stainless steel GMT-Master II references, which carry significantly higher premiums. This makes the 126711 one of the more accessible current-production Rolex GMT-Master II models on the pre-owned market.

Rolex 126711 vs. 126715

The 126711CHNR and the Rolex 126715CHNR share the same Root Beer bezel, black dial, Caliber 3285 movement, and 40mm case dimensions. The difference is the material. The 126711 is two-tone Rolesor (Oystersteel and Everose gold), while the 126715 is crafted entirely from 18k Everose gold. The full gold version has a significantly higher retail price and trades between $35,000 and $45,000 on the secondary market. Buyers who want the Root Beer aesthetic at a more accessible price point typically choose the 126711. Collectors who want the full precious-metal experience prefer the 126715. Both offer the same warm, vintage-inspired color palette that sets them apart from the stainless steel Rolex Pepsi, Rolex Batman, and Rolex Bruce Wayne.
