Reference 116622 — the Rolex Yacht-Master in a 40mm Steel case, Slate Standard dial, Platinum Standard bezel, Oyster bracelet, used condition. A spec sheet that holds its own among serious wrist time.
Collectors read this model by metal first. Rolesium pairs Oystersteel with a platinum bezel at the accessible end; Everose and yellow gold sit well above it. The raised, rotatable bezel and 29mm-to-42mm size span give the line its breadth, from dressy small references to the 42mm titanium 226627. Full sets, original bracelets and unworn condition carry the weight on resale, since aftermarket rubber swaps reduce value. Read the full Yacht-Master buying guide ›
Steel sports references carry most of the heat here. The Submariner, GMT-Master II and Daytona consistently sell above retail on the secondary market because demand keeps outrunning supply. Behind that is a Geneva manufacture founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, credited with early waterproofing, self-winding movements and date displays. The Oyster case, Perpetual rotor and Cyclops lens define it, and precision plus durability set the benchmark others follow. Browse all Rolex ›
