SUMMARY

Introduced in 1992, the Yacht-Master was Rolex's first all-new model until the arrival of the Sky-Dweller a decade later. Introduced as a more luxurious and relaxed alternative to the iconic-yet-functional Submariner, the Yacht-Master has won a global fan base thanks to its numerous configuration options and unisex nature. The watch's appeal also lies in its ability to be both dressy and sporty. The black 'Oysterflex' rubber strap was introduced on the Yacht-Master reference 116655, and has been carried over to this 2019 piece. The component is fitted with Rolex's patented 'Glidelock' system, which allows the wearer 20mm of tool-free adjustment. 

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.
