There are Pepsi GMTs, and then there are examples that immediately stand apart the moment you see them.
Offered here is an exceptional 2000 Rolex GMT-Master II "Pepsi" Reference 16710BLRO that was Rolex Certified Pre-Owned in 2024 and serviced by Rolex as part of the certification process. Included with the watch are the Rolex Certified Pre-Owned card and Rolex presentation box.
In addition to Rolex's certification, this watch also includes an independent authentication and condition report from Investment Watches as well as a professional appraisal from Grailzee, providing multiple layers of confidence for the next owner.
The condition of this watch is simply outstanding.
The case appears to remain unpolished with sharp factory lines, crisp lug edges, and excellent overall symmetry. The bracelet remains remarkably tight, the dial is exceptionally clean, and the iconic red and blue Pepsi bezel retains beautiful color and presence. Overall, the watch presents closer to a carefully preserved collector's piece than a 25-year-old sports Rolex.
My jeweler has also inspected the watch and confirmed that all components appear original.
