	The case is 40mm in 18k white gold with a sapphire crystal, Cyclops date lens, screw-down crown ~~and pushers,~~ and 100m water resistance.

	The case is 40mm in 18k white gold, in the wider "Maxi" architecture that the six-digit sports lineup adopted at the 2008-2010 generational break. The profile matches the 116710LN and the later 126710BLRO exactly. Only the material differs, and white gold makes it substantially heavier than steel.

	The bezel is the story. The 116719BLRO was Rolex's first ceramic Pepsi GMT and the first red-and-blue Cerachrom insert the brand brought to market. Rolex had already proved two-colour ceramic with the black-and-blue 116710BLNR in 2013, but red was the harder problem. Firing red Cerachrom takes different kiln chemistry from blue, and getting both colours into one insert without a muddy join at the boundary is the patented part of the process. Solving it here is what made later ceramic Pepsi production possible.		The bezel is the story.

	The 116719BLRO is the white gold ceramic Pepsi — the watch that put the red-and-blue bezel back in the GMT-Master II catalogue after a seven-year absence, and the first production Rolex to carry a two-colour Cerachrom insert. Rolex launched it at Baselworld 2014. It remained the only ceramic Pepsi on sale for four years, until the steel [[Reference:126710BLRO\|126710BLRO]] arrived in 2018.

	Restricting the first ceramic Pepsi to 18k white gold was the story.

	The 116719BLRO is the bridge between the five-digit Pepsi tradition and the modern ceramic era. The 16710 carried the red-and-blue aluminum bezel through to 2007. When the 116710LN replaced it, Rolex went all-black — no Pepsi option in the new case and bracelet platform. That absence shaped collector expectation for years. The 2014 launch resolved it on Rolex's terms, in precious metal only, at a price that thinned the buyer pool to a fraction of the people who had been asking for it.
