Rolex Yacht-Master 40, Platinum & Steel – Reference 116622

Heritage Narrative

The Rolex Yacht-Master was conceived as the brand’s most refined professional sports watch, bridging the gap between nautical performance and understated luxury. Introduced in the 1990s, the collection brought a softer, more elegant character to Rolex’s tool-watch universe without sacrificing robustness or precision.

The reference 116622 represents the definitive modern expression of the steel Yacht-Master. Launched with a solid platinum bezel and matching platinum dial, it stands apart from both Submariner and GMT models with a quieter, more luxurious presence. The sandblasted platinum bezel with raised, polished numerals is both functional and distinctive, instantly recognizable to those who know what they are looking at.

This 2016 example features the classic 40 mm Oyster case in stainless steel, paired with the platinum dial fitted with luminous hour markers for excellent legibility. Powered by Rolex’s proven automatic movement with quickset date, the 116622 delivers everyday usability wrapped in a refined, maritime aesthetic. Preserved in mint condition and offered as a complete full set, this Yacht-Master is a benchmark reference for collectors seeking discreet luxury with genuine Rolex pedigree.
