The Jubilee five-piece link design of this watch first appeared on Rolex watches in 1945, and many young people think it looks a bit outdated.
However, it is expected that the new Pepsi-Cola will remain one of the most popular watches when it finally goes on the market-if it can be provided to the public through retail stores.However, whether you are one of the ultimate lucky owners or not, here are some things you should know about this iconic watch.

The first red and blue Rolex GMT Master was introduced in 1954, using bakelite bezel.The reference number of this timepiece is 6542, and it was later named "Pussy Galore" after the role played by the actress Honor Blackman. She wore this timepiece throughout the James Bond film Goldfinger starring sean connery in 1964.However, fearing that the bakelite bezel was quite brittle, Rolex replaced it with a metal bezel in 1956, and it was not until 1959 that the second generation GMT Master (reference number 1675) was released.

1675 is one of the most popular Rolex "Pepsi" vintage watches, and the longest-used reference number in the catalogue of Swiss watch manufacturers from 1959 to 1980. It is famous for its highly reliable 1565 and 1575 movements.Revolutionary ernesto guevara wore a Rolex Pepsi 1675 before his death. It is reported that he also wore this timepiece when he was arrested and executed in Bolivia in 1967.Since the World Trade Fair in Basel, Switzerland last month, "Pepsi-Cola" has been on the lips of Rolex lovers and watch lovers.

"Pepsi-Cola" is the nickname of the latest Rolex GMT Master II with a value of $14,000. This timepiece has been known to many people since it came out in 1954, because its bright red and blue bezel are similar to the logo of this American soft drink company.
Five new Rolex watches have just landed at the Basel World Watch Fair 2018.
The last time a new Rolex "Pepsi" timepiece appeared at the Basel World Watch Fair was in 2014. The timepiece was made of an 18-carat white gold case with a price tag of $38,250.

For the first time, the 3075 movement allows the wearer to adjust the date independently of the hour hand. In addition, the waterproof depth of this watch is 330 feet (100 meters), which is twice that of the previous generation.

The next Rolex Pepsi (reference number 16700) came out in 1988.
This is after the appearance of the first GMT Master II "Fat Lady" (also known as "Sophia Loren", reference number 16760) in 1983.
This watch is named "Sophia Loren" after the sexy Italian actress, because its case is thicker, the curve is more beautiful, and there are only black and red bezel, which earned it the nickname "Coca Cola" instead of "Pepsi Cola".

In 1989, Rolex introduced another Pepsi model with reference number 16710, with a thinner case and higher price.
16700 and 16710 versions continued to be produced in parallel until 16700 stopped production in 1999.
After 16710, in 2007, the most luxurious version of "Pepsi-Cola" was launched with the number of 116719 BLRO.

Equipped with 3186 caliber, one feature that distinguishes it from the previous generation movement is the triploid crown.It is said that this watch can withstand greater temperature changes and higher magnetic fields.
