Raise your sails! Whether on or off shore, the Yacht-Master’s relaxed luxury is the perfect companion.

We specialize in the classic models that have shaped the Rolex brand over the time span of many decades. We’re talking about classic models such as the Datejust, Submariner, and Daytona that were introduced in the mid-20th century. In that sense, the Yacht-Master is a bit of an odd duckling. Introduced in the 1990s it’s a crossover model between the toolwatches of old and the shiny luxury sports watches that Rolex produces nowadays. It’s a thin line between cool and gaudy, but Rolex hit gold with the Yacht-Master.

We love the Yacht-Master because it’s basically a more playful Submariner. It comes in the same slim 40mm case and Oyster bracelet as a classic Submariner, but the polished lugs and center links, engraved bezel, and colorful dial options, give it a luxurious and more lighthearted twist. 

This ref. 16628 sports an 18K yellow gold case and Oyster bracelet with a matching engraved 18K yellow-gold bezel. The crisp white dial features contrasting red printed “Yacht-Master” text and 18K yellow-gold hour marker surroundings with cool black tritium filling.

The watch dates back to 1995 and is in excellent condition, with a sharp case and tight bracelet.
