SUMMARY

Released in 1992, the Rolex Yacht-Master draws heavily on the design of the iconic Submariner yet has a noticeably more refined character than its more utilitarian sibling. This particular watch, reference 126622, is paired with a bi-directional graduated platinum bezel, which has been media blasted to create a contrasting, brushed aesthetic when paired with the watch’s 40mm polished stainless steel case. The rhodium slate grey dial, when paired with the striking blue seconds hand and script, provides a thoroughly modern aesthetic. Housed inside the 100m waterproof case is Rolex’s latest generation 3235 calibre movement, which is regulated to +2 to -2 seconds per day and is equipped with a 70-hour power reserve.
