Rolex Yacht-master 40 – Ref: 16622 – Nos, Unworn. Full Set. Rare.

Description

NOS. UNWORN. FULL SET.

of Rolex’s most distinct and high-end sport watch collections, the Yacht-Master has in its short history flown under the radar, along the way securing itself as one of the most underrated Rolex watches available today.

Here we have the first Yacht-Master in Rolesium – that is, platinum and steel – in the 1999-introduced ref. 16622. On the wrist – while somewhat weighty via its partial platinum construction – the watch wears more like a dress watch than a traditional sport watch. Measuring 40mm by 11.5mm, the watch sits low and tight on the wrist, with a curvy profile that more closely resembles the classic Rolex Oyster case design rather than the sharper “Super” profile found on most modern Submariners.

While familiar maybe in terms general design, the 16622 is nonetheless Rolex’s expression of a more refined luxury sport watch, as such including a platinum bi-directional bezel in addition to its stainless steel case, as well as a 100 meters water resistance and a screw-down crown protected by crown guards.

On the dial, a Maxi-style configuration is featured, complete with a white date aperture with a “Cyclops” magnifying lens, large hands and hour markers crafted from white gold, and some distinct color accenting unique to the Yacht-Master collection. Inside, the 16622 features the Rolex caliber 3135, an automatic movement with a 48-hour power reserve, an incredibly reliable, chronometer-grade movement used extensively by the brand.

WATCH WILL BE FULLY INSPECTED, TESTED, CHECKED AND DETAILED BEFORE SOLD. ANY INSPECTION WELCOME.

12 MONTH WARRANTY SUPPLIED.
