Rolex Sprite

The Sprite broke a seventy year convention: reference 126720VTNR is the first GMT-Master II built with its crown on the left side, dial flipped to match, under a green and black bezel. Rolex releasing something this unconventional made it an instant story in 2022. Designed for left-handed wearers but adopted far more broadly, it became a collector piece precisely because nothing else in the catalog looks like it. Right-handed owners wear it on the right wrist or simply enjoy the novelty on the left. We stock Sprites on both Oyster and Jubilee, each authenticated in-house.

The Rolex "Sprite" is the collector nickname for the GMT-Master II reference 126720VTNR (2022–present), the first left-handed Rolex ever put into serial production, with its crown at 9 o'clock, date at 9, and a green and black Cerachrom bezel whose colors match the soda can. A white gold version, reference 126729VTNR, followed with a distinctive green-lacquer flair of its own. Collectors also call the steel model the "Destro" (Italian for right-handed, worn on the right wrist) or simply the "Lefty."

Why the Sprite matters

The 126720VTNR stunned the watch world at its 2022 release. Nobody expected Rolex to build a left-handed GMT, let alone debut a green/black bezel to do it. It joined the GMT nickname family alongside the "Pepsi," "Batman," and "Rootbeer," and remains the only way to get a green-bezel GMT-Master. Righties wear it on the right wrist as intended, but plenty of collectors wear it crown-left on the left wrist as a conversation piece.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Rolex Sprite?

The Sprite is the GMT-Master II reference 126720VTNR, introduced in 2022: a left-handed GMT with the crown at 9 o'clock and a green and black ceramic bezel.

Why is it called the Sprite?

The green and black bezel matches the colors of the Sprite soda brand, following the GMT tradition of soft-drink nicknames like the Pepsi.

Can right-handed people wear the Sprite?

Absolutely, the movement runs identically. It's designed to be worn on the right wrist with the crown facing away, but many owners wear it on the left wrist and treat the flipped crown as part of its character.

Is the Sprite the only left-handed Rolex?

Yes. The 126720VTNR and its white gold sibling 126729VTNR are the only left-handed watches Rolex has ever put into regular production.

Do your Sprites come with box and papers?

Many do, and each listing specifies what's included. Every watch is authenticated by our in-house team regardless of accessories.
