What is a 'Batgirl' Rolex?

The Batgirl is essentially the same Rolex GMT-Master II as the Batman, but with one key difference: she comes outfitted with a classic five-link Jubilee bracelet instead of the sportier Oyster bracelet found on the Batman. The Jubilee's dressier, more elegant look earned it the "Batgirl" nickname, evoking a slightly feminine counterpart to the Batman's bold, masculine persona.

So, like the Batman, the Batgirl can refer to either:

• Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 116710BLNR (2019): This version of the Batgirl was available alongside the Oyster-bracelet Batman until production ceased in 2019.
• Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLNR (2019-present): The current Batgirl, sporting the same sleek blue and black ceramic bezel and upgraded Caliber 3285 movement as her Batman brother, but gracefully gliding on the Jubilee bracelet.

It's worth noting that since 2021, Rolex also offers the Ref. 126710BLNR with the Oyster bracelet, creating some confusion. This is why some consider the Jubilee-outfitted versions as the true "Batgirl," while others use the nickname for any blue and black ceramic bezel GMT with a Jubilee bracelet, regardless of the reference number.

So, to be clear:

• Batman = Blue and black ceramic bezel + Oyster bracelet
• Batgirl = Blue and black ceramic bezel + Jubilee bracelet
• Ref. 116710BLNR = Older models, both Batman and Batgirl
• Ref. 126710BLNR = Current models, Batman available with both bracelets, Batgirl with Jubilee only

Hopefully, this clarifies the Batgirl's place in the Rolex universe! Remember, whether you prefer the bold Batman or the graceful Batgirl, both are exquisite timepieces with a dedicated following among watch enthusiasts.
