A Watch Built From The Cosmos

Since its inception in 1955, the Rolex GMT-Master has represented the pinnacle of travel-ready watchmaking. Originally developed in collaboration with Pan Am for transatlantic pilots, the GMT-Master evolved into a symbol of global sophistication. Fast-forward to the modern era, and the reference 126719BLRO takes this legacy into rarefied air—crafted in solid 18k white gold and featuring one of Rolex’s most elusive dials: natural meteorite.

This 2023 example comes with its original Rolex box and Rolex service card. It has just returned from a full service by Rolex and is under warranty until July 2027. Still fitted with service stickers and entirely unworn since, this is a museum-quality piece in showroom condition.

Why You’ll Love It

The reference 126719BLRO is no ordinary GMT. It’s a flagship model that blends heritage functionality with otherworldly aesthetics and horological prestige:

• Crafted in solid 18k white gold for discreet luxury and uncompromising weight.

• Factory-set meteorite dial—each piece of this space-born material is unique, featuring natural Widmanstätten patterns from an iron meteorite that fell to Earth millions of years ago.

• Iconic bi-directional “Pepsi” bezel in Cerachrom—scratch proof and fade-resistant, yet visually faithful to the classic GMT models of the past.

• Powered by the Rolex calibre 3285 with 70-hour power reserve, Chronergy escapement, and COSC certification for precision and reliability.

• Still fitted with Rolex service stickers and presented in truly unworn condition since its service.

• Covered under Rolex international warranty until July 2027, offering complete peace of mind.

This is one of the most exclusive modern Rolex sport models on the market today—and easily one of the most visually arresting.

A Dial from the Cosmos

The meteorite dial used in this Rolex GMT-Master II is made from the Muonionalusta meteorite, believed to have struck northern Scandinavia over one million years ago, making it one of the oldest known meteorites on Earth.

Rolex selects only the most stable iron-nickel fragments with the clearest natural crystal patterns. These shimmering crosshatched formations, called Widmanstätten patterns, are impossible to replicate artificially. They form over millions of years as the meteorite cools at an astonishingly slow rate—about one degree every million years—while drifting through the void of space.

To transform these fragments into dials:

• The material is sliced, acid-etched to reveal the pattern, and stabilised to ensure durability.

• Only dials that meet Rolex’s strict visual and structural standards are used.

• The result: each meteorite dial is completely unique—no two patterns are ever the same.

Why does this matter? Because you are wearing a literal piece of space on your wrist—something older than Earth itself. It’s more than a watch; it’s a cosmic artefact. And in typical Rolex fashion, they pair this celestial dial with their most exclusive cases: precious metals only. That means no steel versions exist. This 18k white gold GMT-Master II with meteorite dial is one of the rarest modern Rolex configurations available today.

Iconic Status

The GMT-Master II is a favourite among high-profile collectors and global tastemakers, with this specific meteorite-dial variant taking things to a completely different level. Notable GMT-Master wearers over the decades include:

• Mark Wahlberg – A known Rolex enthusiast and collector, and one of the few to have been seen with a meteorite dial GMT.

• Sylvester Stallone – Another passionate collector of Rolex, including rare white gold references.

• John Mayer – His influence in the world of watches has helped spotlight the rarity and appeal of pieces like the 126719BLRO.

With its meteorite dial, precious metal case, and undeniable cool factor, this reference is an apex Rolex that appeals to collectors who’ve seen it all.
