The solid-gold Rootbeer lineage reaches back to the yellow-gold 1675/8 and [[Reference:16758|16758]], both 1970s solid-gold GMT-Masters with brown-and-gold aluminum Rootbeer inserts. Sotheby’s catalogue entry for the 126715CHNR frames the modern reference as a homage to those watches. The departures mirror the 126711CHNR. Everose replaces yellow gold, two-colour Cerachrom replaces aluminum, and the brown sunburst dial gives way to gloss black or, on the -0002, a hardstone cut. | The solid-gold Rootbeer lineage reaches back to the yellow-gold 1675/8 and [[Reference:16758|16758]], both 1970s solid-gold GMT-Masters with brown-and-gold aluminum Rootbeer inserts.

Caliber 3285 powers the reference from launch. The same movement runs in the Rolesor 126711CHNR and across the 2018-onward GMT-Master II generation. Two changes define it against the earlier caliber 3186. The Chronergy escapement replaced the standard Swiss lever layout, and power reserve moved from 50 hours to 70. The Blue Parachrom hairspring carries over, and the 3285 sits inside the Superlative Chronometer specification with rate accuracy to -2/+2 seconds per day. | Caliber 3285 powers the reference from launch.
