The Rolex GMT Master Root Beer, in steel and yellow gold with a gold-and-brown bezel, is much warmer and more exotic than its starker Coke and Pepsi cousins. Introduced in 1970, it was discontinued in 2006 before returning in 2018 with a brown-and-black bezel made of Cerachrom ceramic, replacing previous versions’ anodized aluminum.
Only four Root Beer references have been produced, and since the model is considered a dressy option, all have been available with the Jubilee bracelet. Because of the 12-year production lapse, examples are relatively rare, particularly the pre-2006 gold-brown bezel version. Clint Eastwood, Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson and Mark Wahlberg have been known to rock the Rolex Root Beer.
