About the Rolex GMT-Master II 126720

The Rolex GMT-Master II 126720VTNR is Rolex's first serially produced left-handed GMT-Master, featuring the crown and date window at 9 o'clock instead of the traditional 3 o'clock position. If you are looking for a pre-owned Rolex 126720 for sale, WatchGuys carries both the Oyster and Jubilee bracelet versions, each authenticated by our in-house watchmakers and backed by a 2-year warranty. Released at Watches and Wonders 2022, the 126720 introduced a green and black Cerachrom ceramic bezel to the Rolex GMT-Master II lineup and quickly earned the collector nickname Rolex Sprite. The VTNR suffix stands for "Verte Noir" (green black), referring to the two-tone bezel insert.

What Makes the Rolex 126720 Different?

The 126720 stands apart from every other GMT-Master II reference because of its left-hand crown configuration, sometimes called "destro" by collectors. The crown, crown guards, and date aperture are all positioned on the left side of the case, making the watch more ergonomic for wear on the right wrist. This layout also means the Cyclops lens sits at 9 o'clock rather than 3 o'clock, giving the dial an asymmetric appearance that is immediately recognizable. Beyond the case orientation, the 126720 shares the same Caliber 3285 movement, 40mm Oystersteel case dimensions, 100-meter water resistance, and 70-hour power reserve found in the Rolex 126710 family. It is available on the three-link Oyster bracelet (ref. 126720VTNR-0001) and the five-link Jubilee bracelet (ref. 126720VTNR-0002). The Jubilee version typically trades at a small premium on the secondary market.

Rolex 126720 Price

Pre-owned Rolex 126720 prices depend on bracelet type, condition, and whether box and papers are included. As of early 2026, the Oyster version generally trades between $16,000 and $19,000, while the Jubilee version ranges from $17,000 to $20,000. Unworn examples with complete sets sit at the higher end of those ranges. The retail price is approximately $10,550 on the Oyster bracelet and $10,750 on the Jubilee. Among stainless steel GMT-Master II references, the 126720 trades at a moderate premium over retail, lower than the Rolex Pepsi but in line with the Rolex Batman. Collectors looking for a white gold version of the left-handed GMT can explore the Rolex 126729VTNR.

Rolex 126720 vs. 126710

The 126720 and the 126710 share the same movement, case size, and bracelet options, but they differ in two important ways. First, the 126720 has the left-hand crown configuration, while all 126710 variants have the crown at 3 o'clock. Second, the 126720 is only available with the green and black (VTNR) bezel, whereas the 126710 comes in three bezel options: the Rolex 126710BLRO (Pepsi, red and blue), the Rolex 126710BLNR (Batman, black and blue), and the Rolex 126710GRNR (Rolex Bruce Wayne, grey and black). For buyers who want the green and black colorway without the left-hand crown, there is currently no right-hand option in the Rolex catalog.

Common Questions

Rolex GMT-Master II 126720 FAQ

• What Is the Rolex GMT-Master II 126720?

  The Rolex 126720VTNR is the first serially produced left-handed GMT-Master II. Released in 2022, it features a 40mm Oystersteel case with the crown and date aperture at 9 o'clock, a green and black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, and the Caliber 3285 movement with a 70-hour power reserve. It is available on both the Oyster bracelet (ref. 126720VTNR-0001) and the Jubilee bracelet (ref. 126720VTNR-0002). Collectors commonly refer to it as the Sprite or Destro.

• How Much Does a Rolex 126720 Cost?

  The retail price for the Rolex 126720 is approximately $10,550 on the Oyster bracelet and $10,750 on the Jubilee. On the pre-owned market, the Oyster version generally ranges from $16,000 to $19,000 and the Jubilee version from $17,000 to $20,000. Prices depend on condition, production year, and whether the watch includes box and papers.

• Why Is the Rolex 126720 Left-Handed?

  The 126720 places the crown and date window at 9 o'clock instead of the traditional 3 o'clock position. This "destro" configuration is designed for wear on the right wrist, making it more ergonomic for left-handed wearers or anyone who prefers to wear a watch on their right arm. It is the only current-production Rolex with this layout. Right-handed wearers also buy the 126720 for its distinctive look and the unique asymmetry it creates on the dial.

• Rolex 126720 Jubilee or Oyster Bracelet?

  The Oyster bracelet is a three-link sport design that gives the watch a classic tool-watch feel. The Jubilee is a five-link bracelet with a more refined, dressier appearance. Both feature the Oysterclasp with Easylink comfort extension. The Jubilee version typically commands a small premium on the secondary market, around 5% more than the Oyster. Your choice comes down to personal style and how you plan to wear the watch.

• Is the Rolex 126720 a Good Investment?

  The Rolex 126720 has traded above its retail price on the secondary market since its release. As a unique model in the GMT-Master II collection (the only left-handed reference), it holds a distinctive position that supports demand. However, it trades at a lower premium than the Pepsi (126710BLRO) and has shown more price fluctuation than more established references. While no watch should be purchased solely as a financial investment, the 126720's unique design and ongoing collector interest support steady value retention.
