About Everose Gold Rolex GMT-Master II Watches

Everose is the newest metal in the GMT-Master II line and the most narrowly defined. Rolex brought it to the collection in 2018 and has used it for exactly one bezel palette since, which makes this the simplest material page in the family to shop and the one with the least ambiguity. Every example we list is checked by our watchmakers and backed by the WatchGuys 2 Year Warranty. For the model history and full generation timeline, see our GMT-Master reference breakdown, or browse the complete Rolex GMT-Master II collection.

Every Everose GMT Is a Root Beer

This is the defining fact and it is worth stating first. Rolex has produced Everose GMT-Master II references in only one bezel configuration, the brown and black Cerachrom that collectors call the Root Beer. There is no Everose Pepsi, no Everose Batman, no Everose Bruce Wayne or Sprite. Two references cover the entire metal: the solid 18k Everose 126715CHNR and the two-tone Everose Rolesor 126711CHNR, both introduced in 2018 and both running Caliber 3285 with roughly a 70-hour power reserve. For the full history of the brown bezel across both its eras, including the vintage yellow gold references that preceded these, our Rolex Root Beer collection covers it in depth, and the two-tone reference has its own page at GMT-Master 126711.

Why Rolex Chose Everose for the Revival

The original Root Beers of the 1970s and 1980s were yellow gold and two-tone yellow gold, so when Rolex brought the palette back in ceramic it could have returned to the same metal. It did not. The choice of Everose reads as deliberate on two counts. Warm pink gold sits against a brown and black bezel with more coherence than yellow does, since brown and pink share a tonal family in a way brown and yellow do not. And using a metal Rolex only introduced in 2005 signalled that this was a modern reinterpretation rather than a reissue. The practical result for buyers is that a vintage Root Beer and a modern one are different metals, which catches people out regularly when they shop by nickname rather than by reference.

Everose and Why It Suits Brown

Everose is Rolex's proprietary 18k pink gold, alloyed with copper for colour and a measured amount of platinum for stability. The platinum matters because copper is what gives pink gold its tone and copper is also what leaches out over decades, which is why conventional pink gold from earlier eras drifts toward yellow. On a GMT the alloy does something specific: the brown segment of the Cerachrom bezel and the Everose case sit close enough in warmth to read as a continuous palette rather than as two separate colours meeting at the bezel edge. That coherence is the reason this combination works visually where a brown bezel on white metal would look grafted on. Compare the alloy across the catalogue in our Everose Rolex collection.

Solid Everose or Everose Rolesor?

The two references are the same watch in different proportions of gold. The 126715CHNR is solid 18k Everose throughout, case, bezel surround, crown, and every bracelet link. The 126711CHNR is Everose Rolesor, pairing an Oystersteel case and bracelet with Everose on the bezel, crown, crown guards, and centre links, and its black dial uses Everose gold indices and hands to tie the two metals together. Both share the bezel, the dial colour, the movement, and the 40mm case. The difference is metal content and weight, and it is reflected in a price gap of roughly double.

The Tiger Iron Dial

In 2025 Rolex added a stone dial version of the solid Everose 126715CHNR using Tiger Iron, a banded composite of tiger's eye, hematite, and red jasper that produces horizontal striping unique to each slice. It is the configuration driving the strongest prices anywhere in the Everose GMT range, and by a wide margin, because stone dials cannot be replicated between examples and the supply is a fraction of standard production. Photographs flatten the banding considerably, which means these look better in person than online and are also the configuration most likely to be misrepresented. If you are buying one, insist on seeing the actual dial rather than a stock image.

Everose GMT Price

The two-tone 126711CHNR generally trades between roughly $15,000 and $20,000, which makes it one of the more accessible routes into a precious metal GMT. The solid Everose 126715CHNR runs considerably higher, generally between $35,000 and $45,000, reflecting the full gold case and bracelet. The 2025 Tiger Iron dial version sits in a different bracket again, with a retail figure around $50,000 and market prices reported near double that on dial rarity alone. Condition and completeness move price within each reference more than most buyers expect. Our Rolex Market Report sets out how these two references have moved since 2018.

Everose, Yellow Gold, or White Gold?

Each metal in the GMT line effectively comes with its bezel decided. Everose gives you the Root Beer and nothing else. Yellow gold offers the grey and black Bruce Wayne palette on current production plus a black-bezel predecessor, and it has the deepest two-tone history. White gold is where the Pepsi lives and where the stone dials and gem-set work sit. So the metal decision and the bezel decision are the same decision here, which is unusual and worth understanding before you start comparing. If the brown palette is what you want, Everose is the only modern answer.

Why Buy an Everose GMT From WatchGuys

Two references, roughly double the price between them, and a two-tone configuration where the gold sits on specific components rather than throughout. Add a stone dial variant that photographs poorly and carries the largest premium in the range, and the accuracy of the listing matters more than the pictures do.

Common Questions

Everose GMT FAQ

• Which Rolex GMT References Are Everose Gold?

  Two. The 126715CHNR is solid 18k Everose throughout, and the 126711CHNR is Everose Rolesor, pairing an Oystersteel case and bracelet with Everose on the bezel, crown, crown guards, and centre links. Both arrived in 2018, both carry the brown and black Cerachrom bezel and a black dial, and both run Caliber 3285 with roughly a 70-hour power reserve in a 40mm case. A 2025 Tiger Iron stone dial version of the 126715CHNR sits above them.

• Is Every Everose GMT a Root Beer?

  Yes. Rolex has produced Everose GMT-Master II references in only the brown and black Cerachrom configuration, so the metal and the nickname are effectively the same thing in the modern era. What confuses buyers is the reverse: not every Root Beer is Everose. The vintage references from the 1970s and 1980s used yellow gold and two-tone yellow gold, so shopping by nickname alone will return watches in two entirely different metals.

• How Much Is an Everose GMT-Master II?

  The two-tone 126711CHNR generally trades between roughly $15,000 and $20,000, making it one of the more accessible precious metal GMTs. The solid Everose 126715CHNR runs considerably higher, generally $35,000 to $45,000, reflecting the full gold case and bracelet. The 2025 Tiger Iron dial version carries a retail figure around $50,000 with market prices reported near double that on dial rarity alone.

• Why Is There No Everose Pepsi or Batman?

  Rolex has kept Everose tied to a single palette in this collection. The Pepsi has been produced in steel and white gold, the Batman, Sprite, and Bruce Wayne in steel, with yellow gold covering the Bruce Wayne palette in precious metal. Everose gets only the brown and black Root Beer. There is no announced reason, but the tonal fit between warm pink gold and a brown bezel is the most likely explanation. If you want Everose, the bezel decision is already made.

• What Is the Tiger Iron Dial?

  Tiger Iron is a banded composite of tiger's eye, hematite, and red jasper, cut into thin slices for dial use. The horizontal striping is unique to each slice, so no two examples match, and Rolex introduced it on the solid Everose 126715CHNR in 2025. It commands the largest premium in the Everose GMT range. Because the banding flattens badly in photographs, insist on images of the actual dial rather than a stock shot before committing.

• Should I Buy Solid Everose or Everose Rolesor?

  They look closer than the price gap suggests, since both carry the same bezel, dial, and case size, and the Rolesor version uses Everose indices and hands to carry the warm tone across the dial. Solid Everose gives you full precious metal content, substantially more weight, and a watch that reads unambiguously as gold. Rolesor gives you the same visual character at roughly half the price. For most buyers the Rolesor is the more rational purchase and the solid version is the one you buy because you want it.
