The reference launched at Baselworld 2018 and remains in the current catalogue. Rolex has used the part numbers 126711CHNR-0001 and 126711CHNR-0002; the sources used here do not document a visible specification change between them.

Caliber 3285 arrives here fully formed: Chronergy escapement, 70-hour reserve, and the same modern GMT movement logic shared across the 2018-onward family.
Caliber 3285 uses the Chronergy escapement and a stated 70-hour reserve, with the GMT-Master II functions shared across the 2018-onward family.


The upgrade matters more as a generation marker than as a mechanical departure. The independent hour hand and GMT-Master II function logic are unchanged. What the 3285 introduces is the longer reserve and the higher-efficiency escapement that the current generation of Rolex calibres shares.

The reference exists in a single visible configuration through its production run. The only catalogued change has been the part-number update from -0001 to -0002, which has not produced a new dial or bezel variant. No stone-dial or alternative-dial version of the 126711CHNR has been released, which keeps the reference cleaner to describe than its solid-Everose sibling.

Sotheby's catalogued a circa-2019 example in its Important Watches 2021 sale. Phillips offered another circa-2019 full-set watch as lot 944 at the Hong Kong Watch Auction XIX in 2024; the catalogue gives an estimate of HK$80,000–160,000 and records the result. These are individual auction records, not a general price guide.
