We are happy to present this striking Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Ref. 226658, a luxurious and contemporary sports watch that perfectly combines Rolex’s renowned robustness with refined nautical elegance. Manufactured in solid 18k Everose gold and fitted with the innovative Oysterflex rubber strap, this reference embodies modern luxury sports watch design at its finest.

Manufactured in 2023, this example is offered with original box and papers, representing an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of Rolex’s most desirable modern precious metal sports models.

The impressive 42 mm case is executed entirely in solid 18k Everose gold, Rolex’s proprietary rose gold alloy renowned for its warm tone and exceptional resistance to fading over time. The case features beautifully polished surfaces contrasted by satin-finished lugs, delivering a sophisticated yet sporty appearance. 

The matte black Cerachrom bezel insert provides a striking contrast against the warm Everose gold case. Made from highly scratch-resistant ceramic with raised polished numerals and graduations, the bidirectional rotating bezel reinforces the model’s nautical inspiration while ensuring exceptional durability and functionality.

The black dial offers outstanding legibility and timeless elegance, featuring Chromalight luminous hour markers and Mercedes hands that emit a long-lasting blue glow in low-light conditions. The balanced dial layout, combined with the signature red “Yacht-Master” inscription, enhances the sporty yet luxurious character of the watch.

At the heart of the watch beats the Rolex Caliber 3235, a state-of-the-art self-winding movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. Renowned for its exceptional precision, reliability, and efficiency, the movement incorporates the Chronergy escapement and offers an impressive power reserve of approximately 70 hours. Certified as a Superlative Chronometer, the caliber guarantees outstanding performance in everyday wear.

The watch is fitted with Rolex’s highly innovative Oysterflex bracelet, combining the durability and flexibility of a rubber strap with the robustness of an internal metal blade structure. It is secured by an elegant 18k Everose gold Oysterlock folding clasp, ensuring exceptional comfort and security on the wrist.
