The [[Reference:116719BLRO|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. | The [[Reference:116719BLRO|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.

The dial sequence is binary. The -0001 runs 2014 to 2018 with black lacquer, white gold applied Maxi markers, and Chromalight lume. The -0002 takes over in 2018 with a matte blue dial in the same furniture layout. Both carry the green GMT-Master II text that marks post-2007 GMT-Master II dials. | The dial sequence is binary.

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. Heavier than steel by a substantial margin. The case profile is functionally identical to the 116710LN and the later 126710BLRO; what differs is the material. | 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.

White gold Oyster bracelet with polished centre links and brushed outer links, fitted with the Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension system. No Jubilee option was offered on the [[Reference:116719BLRO|116719BLRO]]; the Jubilee return to the GMT-Master II arrived in 2018 with the steel [[Reference:126710BLRO|126710BLRO]]. That timing matters. Anyone who wanted a Pepsi on Jubilee during 2014-2018 had no production option. | White gold Oyster bracelet with polished centre links and brushed outer links, fitted with the Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension system.
