⌚⌚⌚ HOTRolex GMT-Master II "Destro" Left-Handed
Left-crown GMT with green-black 'Sprite' bezel. The most sought-after Rolex of 2026.
Our take on the Rolex GMT-Master II "Destro" Left-Handed
The left-handed GMT-Master II broke a 70-year Rolex convention by moving the crown and date window to the left side of the case. That single decision turned an already popular travel watch into the most discussed Rolex of the last few years, and it explains why the green-and-black 'Sprite' bezel is near impossible to find at retail.
What to know before buying
- ▸Crown at 9 o'clock and date at 9 o'clock — designed for wearing on the right wrist.

- ▸Green/black Cerachrom bezel, the first of its kind for Rolex.
- ▸Offered on both Jubilee and Oyster bracelets, with Jubilee the harder to source.
Where and how to buy
Retail allocation goes almost entirely to established Rolex clients, so the realistic route for most buyers is the pre-owned market. Verify the bezel insert and caseback engraving carefully — this reference is heavily counterfeited. Insist on the original card with a matching serial.
Prices and availability change constantly. See our authentication checklist before any pre-owned purchase, and our servicing cost guide to budget for ownership.
Rolex GMT-Master II "Destro" Left-Handed — frequently asked questions
Why is the Rolex 'Destro' GMT so hard to get?
Rolex does not publish production figures, but demand for the Sprite bezel far exceeds allocation. Most authorized dealers receive only a handful per year and prioritize repeat clients.
Can you wear a left-handed GMT on the left wrist?
Yes. Many owners do — the crown simply sits away from the back of the hand, which some find more comfortable.
