When this new Rolex GMT was unveiled in 2022, it took the entire industry by surprise!
Indeed, the 126720VTNR is fitted with a never-seen-before black and green ceramic bezel. Furthermore, the crown is placed on the left side of the case, at 9 o’clock. This configuration is known as “destro”, referring to the fact that the watch is designed to be worn on the left wrist.
While a few Rolex from the 1950’s and 1960’s, including GMT, Submariner and Datejust were made with the crown at 9 o’clock, most probably upon special request, it is the first time Rolex has done it within its regular production.
Quickly nicknamed “Sprite” by the watch community, this model is subject to an extremely long waiting list. Cherished by collectors who have immediately understood its historical importance, less than a handful of them have appeared at auction.
This example is in most attractive condition and comes with its original guarantee card and presentation case.
