Sell it with usPurchased new by its current owner from an authorised dealer, this 2017 Rolex Yacht-Master is being auctioned as a full set. The watch is presented in its original display box and accompanied by its official Rolex guarantee card, booklets and swing tags. The vendor advises the watch was recently polished by a Rolex specialist through Bucherer Jewellers, and the movement was checked. Its overall condition appears to be within the bounds of the vendor’s ‘AA’ grading.
The 40mm polished case of the Yacht-Master presents in a more refined and fluid shape than the slab-sided profile of other Rolex sports watches. It’s also more ergonomic at a svelte 11.5mm thick. The bi-directional rotating bezel on this ref. 116621 is made from rose gold and media blasted with raised and polished markers. The trip-lock screw-down crown is also fashioned from gold and affords 100m of water resistance. The watch is secured to the wrist via a two-tone Oyster bracelet.
The eye-catching sunburst chocolate dial features large ‘maxi’ hour markers and hands made from gold and filled with Rolex’s proprietary ‘Chromalight’ luminescence. The ‘ROLEX’ script and coronet are finished in a gilt tone to match the gold elements and offer a nice vintage touch. The red ‘YACHT-MASTER’ writing presents a hint of sportiness. The watch is powered by Rolex’s tried and tested calibre 3135, which is both chronometer-certified and tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.
The Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced by the Swiss watchmaker in 1992, and is one of the brand’s popular unisex models thanks to its versatility and range of specifications.
