Harold Perrineau: Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II “Pepsi”
Actor Harold Perrineau was seen wearing the highly coveted Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II “Pepsi” at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations in Los Angeles. The watch’s signature red and blue bi-directional Cerachrom bezel gives it its popular “Pepsi” nickname.

This intuitive feature makes it a favorite among travelers, who can easily adjust the hour hand without affecting the minutes and seconds. A new model in white gold can cost around $46,000, while vintage versions are priced closer to $30,000.

This iconic timepiece, which first debuted in the 1980s, features a square case with rounded corners and a flexible bracelet designed to mirror the graceful movement of a panther. The watch’s silvered dial with black Roman numerals, blued sword-shaped hands, and a crown set with a synthetic blue spinel gives it a distinctive yet timeless look. Powered by a quartz movement, the Cartier Panthère is priced around $5,700.

The yellow gold GMT-Master II is known for its versatile bi-directional bezel and dual time zone functionality, making it an ideal companion for frequent travelers. Kelce’s Rolex holds sentimental value, and given his successful career, he may soon add more luxury watches to his collection, especially as analysts predict he’ll be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2029.
