Heritage Narrative
The Rolex Yacht-Master, introduced in 1992, was created as a more refined counterpart to the Submariner, designed for those who appreciate nautical elegance paired with Rolex’s tool-watch DNA. Defined by its bidirectional timing bezel and luxurious materials, the Yacht-Master strikes a unique balance between sport and sophistication. The current generation reference 126622, launched in 2019, elevated the model further with refined proportions, the updated calibre 3235 movement, and Rolex’s signature Chromalight display.
This September 2025 example, reference 126622, features a 40 mm Oystersteel case with a solid platinum bezel, paired with a radiant blue dial that has become the signature of the model. Inside, the calibre 3235 provides a 70-hour power reserve, Parachrom hairspring, and Chronergy escapement, ensuring both precision and durability. Offered unworn and complete with its full set of box and papers, this Yacht-Master 40 is a pristine modern classic and one of the most versatile steel-and-platinum sport models in the Rolex catalogue.
