RolexYacht-Master

The Yacht-Master was 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. In 1999, a steel and platinum version was launched in multiple size options, including the reference 168622 we see here.

The case is a unisex 35mm in diameter and features a bi-directional rotating bezel made from platinum that is media blasted with raised and polished markers. Also fashioned from platinum is the dial, which features a red seconds hand and script to add a hint of colour to the monochromatic look. Attached to the case is an Oyster bracelet with polished centre links and a fold-over safety clasp. The watch is powered by the tried and tested calibre 2235, which has a 48-hour power reserve and is COSC-certified.

This 2011 example is offered in fair condition with visible scratches on the case and bracelet. Included in the sale are the original box and papers.

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
