RolexYacht-Master 40

This one-owner Yacht-Master ref. 126622 was purchased new by the vendor from a Rolex authorised dealer in 2021. It’s accompanied by a display box, warranty card, sleeve, booklets, and swing tags. Rolex’s five-year international warranty covers this example until 2026. The vendor advises the watch is in good working order and has graded it ‘A’ for condition. The images appear consistent with that assessment, showing only minor signs of wear including some light hairline marks on the clasp.

Designed as a more luxurious alternative to the Submariner, the Yacht-Master retains the robust construction synonymous with Rolex sports watches, but with a slightly more refined profile. The 40mm case is finished in polished 904L stainless steel and paired with an Oyster bracelet. The bi-directional bezel is crafted from platinum and features a media-blasted finish with raised and polished numerals and markers.

As one of Rolex’s more recent design iterations for this series, the dial is thoroughly contemporary, displaying a vivid blue seconds hand and “YACHT-MASTER” script. Large white gold markers and hands offer superior legibility to the wearer, and a magnified date aperture is positioned at 3 o’clock.

Housed inside the 100m waterproof case is the calibre 3235. This self-winding movement incorporates Rolex’s new “Chronergy” escapement and boasts an impressive 70-hour power reserve. It’s also chronometer certified and tested after casing to a tolerance of +2 to -2 seconds per day.

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.
