Rolex GMT-Master II 'Zombie' 126718GRNR - 40mm 18ct Yellow Gold, Black Lacquered Dial

Why we love this watch

Few references command a room quite like the Rolex GMT-Master II 126718GRNR, and SASO is proud to present this exceptional example as part of our current collection. Crafted entirely in 18ct yellow gold, the 40mm round case projects an authority that is impossible to ignore. The black lacquered dial is immaculate - deep, glossy, and framed by clean baton hour markers that keep the layout purposeful and precise. At three o'clock, the date window sits flush with the dial's geometry, adding functional elegance without disrupting the composition. The unidirectional rotating bezel is finished in black ceramic - a material chosen for its extraordinary resistance to fading and scratching - creating a striking tonal contrast against the warm lustre of the gold case. The result is the combination collectors have come to know as the 'Zombie': bold, dark, and unmistakably golden. Complicating the picture in the most refined sense, the GMT function allows the wearer to track a second time zone simultaneously - a complication born from professional necessity and long since elevated into one of watchmaking's most desirable features. The movement delivers a 70-hour power reserve, ensuring the watch remains ready whether worn daily or reserved for the occasions it was made for. The bracelet is the five-link Jubilee in 18ct yellow gold - a design that balances dressy flexibility with wrist presence, and one that complements the overall warmth of the reference perfectly. The bracelet presents beautifully, consistent with the pristine character of the piece as a whole. Reference 126718GRNR is one of the most talked-about Rolex configurations of the modern era.
