 SUMMARY

The Yacht-Master was initially introduced in 1992 as a more opulent and upscale alternative to the Submariner. It’s characterised by a case more rounded and fluid than the slab-sided shape of other Rolex sports watches and works well as both a dressy and sporty watch. This particular piece is finished entirely in 18K yellow gold, including the bi-directional bezel which features raised and polished Arabic numerals and markers. The white dial is a further source of visual interest thanks to its contrasting hour markers and red 'Yacht-Master' script. Beneath the screw-down rear case back beats Rolex's venerable 3135 calibre, an automatic movement highly regarded for its reliability and accuracy.
