GMT-Master › 126713GRNR

Two-tone Rolesor, grey-black bezel
Two-tone Rolesor, grey-black bezel

The 126713GRNR is the Yellow Rolesor GMT-Master II introduced at Watches and Wonders 2023. It combines an Oystersteel case and bracelet with 18k yellow gold, a grey-and-black Cerachrom bezel, a black dial, and caliber 3285. It launched on a Jubilee bracelet and remains in Rolex's current catalogue.

The reference was the first GMT-Master II in precious-metal Rolesor to use a Jubilee bracelet. Collector nicknames such as “Zombie” and “Bumblebee” are informal and do not identify separate variants.

Where it sits in the line

The 126713GRNR sits between the steel 126710GRNR and solid-gold 126718GRNR versions that use the same grey-and-black Cerachrom colour code. The Rolesor case combines Oystersteel and 18k yellow gold; the solid-gold version uses 18k yellow gold throughout.

Rolex calls the case and bracelet combination Yellow Rolesor. GRNR follows the French gris-noir naming convention for the grey-and-black bezel. The green-and-black left-handed 126720VTNR is a different reference and colour code.

Production outline

Production began with the 2023 Watches and Wonders launch, and Rolex's current catalogue still lists the reference. The steel 126710GRNR joined the grey-and-black family in 2024. Launch prices varied by market and belong in the market record rather than the production summary.

Movement notes

The 126713GRNR uses caliber 3285, introduced to the GMT-Master II line with the 2018 126710BLRO Pepsi. Rolex specifies a 70-hour power reserve, Superlative Chronometer precision of -2/+2 seconds per day after casing, a blue Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers. The movement's Chronergy escapement and independently adjustable local hour hand continue the 3285-era GMT layout.

Dial map

The standard dial is black lacquer with applied yellow-gold markers and hands, green GMT-Master II text, and Chromalight lume. Launch coverage noted the gold-coloured printing and markers as a visual link to earlier two-tone GMT and Datejust watches; that is an observation about the design, not a separate factory variant.

The published Rolex and launch material reviewed here documents one standard dial. It does not establish a complete year-by-year printing or dial-change register.

Case, bezel, crystal, and crown notes

The case is 40mm in Oystersteel and yellow gold, with a sapphire crystal, Triplock crown, screw-down caseback, and 100m water resistance. It uses the slimmer 126710 architecture introduced in 2019. Published dimensions are approximately 40mm diameter and 11.9mm thick.

The bidirectional bezel uses a grey-and-black Cerachrom insert with moulded numerals and graduations. The colour combination was new to the GMT-Master II line when Rolex introduced this reference in 2023. Rolex's technical material describes the ceramic insert and moulded markings; it does not publish a separate year-by-year bezel-change register.

Bracelets, end links, clasps, and packaging notes

The reference is listed on a Yellow Rolesor five-link Jubilee bracelet with an Oysterlock safety clasp and Easylink 5mm comfort extension. The Jubilee bracelet is the reference's distinguishing fitment; Rolex's current product page does not list a second factory bracelet configuration. Box, guarantee card, and hang tags are period packaging rather than reference-specific parts.

Special branches

Collectors variously call the reference “Zombie” or “Bumblebee.” Neither name is official, and neither denotes a dial, bezel, or bracelet variant.

Historical market and auction record

The reference has appeared in online auction and resale records, although a major-house record is limited. EveryWatch records a 2026 Grailzee sale of a 126713GRNR at US$24,675; that result is one public transaction, not a market census.

Prices vary with condition, bracelet, papers, service history, sale date, and venue. Time+Tide's early 2023 snapshot and later online records describe asking or transaction prices at particular moments; they do not establish a fixed premium for the reference or prove stronger demand than the solid-gold model.
