The Pepsi colorway has been a foundational pillar of the brand since the Bakelite Ref. 6542 in 1955. Because Rolex opted not to replace it, the Pepsi\u2019s exit leaves a massive vacuum. Secondary market prices for these references\u2014which already commanded steep premiums\u2014are expected to climb aggressively as the finite supply is permanently capped.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31060\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31060\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/watches\/rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-bezel-blue-dial-mens-watch-126719-71898\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31060 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/discontinued-rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-126719blro-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"The discontinued 18k white gold Rolex Submariner Date reference 126619LB, known as the Cookie Monster, with a black dial and blue Cerachrom bezel.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/discontinued-rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-126719blro-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/discontinued-rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-126719blro-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/discontinued-rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-126719blro-1-1200x857.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/discontinued-rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-126719blro-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/discontinued-rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-126719blro-1-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/thewatchclub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/discontinued-rolex-gmt-master-ii-white-gold-pepsi-126719blro-1-2048x1463.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31060\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rolex also retired the heavy-hitting 18k white gold GMT-Master II Ref. 126719BLRO, taking its midnight blue dial and meteorite dial entirely out of production.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" data-path-to-node=\"13\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swisswatchexpo.com\/watches\/rolex\/gmtmaster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #006699;\"><strong>Explore our collection of Rolex GMT-Master watches<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-path-to-node=\"14\"><span style=\"color: #006699;\"><strong>The &#8220;Cookie Monster&#8221;

While specialized dive models didn&#8217;t formally arrive until the 1950s, their DNA traces back a full century to exactly 1926, when Rolex&#8217;s waterproof Oyster case innovation forever changed the trajectory of the wristwatch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"18\">The retirement of the 126619LB leaves the current Submariner lineup without a white gold representative featuring a contrasting dial and bezel.
