Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!" , it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.
So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 Rolex 6-digit models (models released in recent years with 6-digit model numbers) handled by Commit Ginza (hereinafter referred to as our store) in the first half of 2025! Please enjoy reading the list while imagining the rankings with us.
5th place
Submariner "Ref. 126610LN"
In fifth place is the current Submariner, Ref. 126610LN, which was released in 2020.
With a stainless steel case and bracelet, black dial and bezel, and a simple design, it is easy to use both on and off, and is loved by everyone. Although there are no rare points, there is such demand that it sells immediately after arrival, so you can expect it to be a valuable asset. In addition to the waterproofness and robustness unique to diver's watches, it also has high visibility, so it can be said to be the best model for everyday use among [Rolex].
4th place
GMT-Master II "Ref.126720VTNR"
In fourth place is the new model "GMT Master II" "Ref. 126720VTNR", which was released in 2022 with a new color.
This watch, which was introduced at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2022 in Rolex's corporate color green, quickly attracted attention with its fresh coloring that had never been seen before. In addition, the crown and calendar are placed on the opposite sides, making it a "left-handed model" that has rarely been available in recent Rolex models, so it was good news for left-handed people. With the recent appearance of new colorings, the popularity of the GMT Master II among Rolex models is skyrocketing. Not only is it practical, but it also has plenty of future potential, so why not consider purchasing one?
3rd place
GMT-Master II "Ref. 126710GRNR"
Coming in third place is the GMT-Master II "Ref. 126710GRNR", which was released in 2024 and is equipped with a black and gray Cerachrom bezel.
This model features a chic bezel color, the "GMT MASTER II" lettering that follows the "Ref.116710LN", and accents such as the corporate color green on the GMT hand, and has been released after the announcement of the "Ref.126713GRNR" made of yellow Rolesor (combination) material in 2023 and the "Ref.126718GRNR" made of solid material. When it comes to the "GMT Master", colorful bezel colors tend to be popular, but this calm color scheme is also easy to use and will likely be a watch that you can use for a long time.
2nd place
GMT-Master II "Ref. 126710BLNR"
In second place is the 126710BLNR, affectionately known as "Batman," which was released in 2019 and features a black and blue Cerachrom bezel.
This model was released the year after the Pepsi Ref.126710BLRO was released in 2018 , and is a model with a blue-black bezel inherited from the previous model Ref.116710BLNR . The GMT hand is unified with the bezel color blue. The movement has been upgraded from the previous model Cal.3186 to the new Cal.3285, and the power reserve has been extended from about 48 hours to about 70 hours. It is also weekend -proof, which is a nice feature. If you want a sporty impression, why not choose the Oyster bracelet specification, or if you want a luxurious impression, why not choose the Jubilee bracelet specification?
1st place
Daytona "Ref.126500LN"
Taking the honorable first place is the "Ref. 126500LN," which will be released in 2023, the 60th anniversary of the birth of the Daytona.
This is the seventh generation Daytona, which has undergone a full model change in both the solid gold and Rolesor models . The main feature is that the Cerachrom bezel is made of the same metal as the case. The dial design, which is reminiscent of the Ref. 16520, known as the El Primero, gives a sharper impression than the previous Ref. 116500LN. This combination of bezel and dial is reminiscent of the hand-wound Daytona, the most popular vintage model. The movement has also been revamped, from the famous Cal. 4130, which has been in use for over 20 years, to the Cal. 4131, which has improved durability and energy efficiency . This is a watch that is full of the charm that only a classic model can offer.
