Rolex GMT-Master II 'Sprite'

Offered for sale is a brand-new Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126720VTNR 'Sprite' Jubilee, one of the most talked-about and collectible modern Rolex sports watches of recent years. Delivered in 2023 and accompanied by its complete original full set, this example remains in brand-new condition and represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive GMT-Master II references ever produced.

Introduced by Rolex in 2022, the reference 126720VTNR immediately took the watch world by surprise. Nicknamed the “Sprite” by collectors, it was the first GMT-Master II in history to feature the winding crown and date aperture positioned on the left side of the case. Combined with the striking green and black Cerachrom bezel, this unconventional configuration instantly became one of the most recognizable and sought-after Rolex releases of the modern era.

While initially designed to appeal to left-handed wearers, the VTNR quickly attracted a much broader audience. Its unique layout, limited availability, and unmistakable appearance have transformed it into one of the most collectible steel Rolex references currently in production. Unlike traditional GMT-Master II models, the Sprite stands out immediately on the wrist while retaining all the functionality and robustness that have made the GMT-Master II the benchmark travel watch for over seventy years.

This particular example is fitted with the highly desirable Jubilee bracelet, widely considered by collectors to be the most elegant configuration of the VTNR. The five-piece link construction offers exceptional comfort while perfectly complementing the sophisticated character of the GMT-Master II. The Jubilee bracelet is equipped with Rolex's Oysterlock clasp and Easylink comfort extension system for effortless daily wear.

The 40 mm Oystersteel case combines brushed and polished surfaces to create the perfect balance between sportiness and refinement. The bi-directional bezel features a green and black Cerachrom insert manufactured from highly scratch-resistant ceramic, a color combination exclusive to the Sprite and now instantly recognizable among collectors worldwide.

Powering the watch is Rolex's in-house calibre 3285, one of the most advanced GMT movements currently available. The movement offers an impressive 70-hour power reserve, the highly efficient Chronergy escapement, Parachrom hairspring technology, and independent local-hour adjustment, allowing the wearer to change time zones without affecting the precision of the watch. As with all modern Rolex timepieces, the movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, guaranteeing exceptional reliability and accuracy.

The GMT-Master II remains the ultimate travel companion, allowing simultaneous tracking of multiple time zones through the combination of the 24-hour hand and rotating bezel. Whether worn daily or added to a serious collection, the Sprite offers a unique blend of practicality, rarity, and modern Rolex desirability.
