Rolex - Yacht-Master 40 - 16622 - Men - 2011-present

Pre-owned Rolex Yacht-Master ref. 16622.

The Yacht-Master uses Rolesium, and this is when rugged stainless steel and ultra-precious platinum meet on a Rolex watch. The case and bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel, but the bezel of the watch is actually made completely in platinum. While both are white metals, platinum gets a completely unique sheen compared to steel and thus creates a discreet contrast. The use of platinum is also proof of the fact that this model is positioned more as a luxury sports watch.

Yacht-Master dial prototypes first appeared in the 1960s. But the inaugural production model didn’t make its debut until the early 1990s. That said, the brand has been present in the world of sailing for decades.
Things started getting a little more interesting for the Yacht-Master collection in 1999. That’s when Rolex unveiled the steel Ref 16622.
