Notes

Introduced in 1999, the Yacht-Master Ref. 16622 embodies a more luxurious interpretation of Rolex’s nautical spirit. Crafted from “Rolesium” the brand’s distinctive combination of stainless steel and platinum, it reflects a refined balance between technical performance and understated elegance. The sandblasted platinum dial and bezel shimmer subtly under light, evoking the silvery tones of the open sea.

Beneath its surface beats the dependable calibre 3135, ensuring the precision and durability for which Rolex is renowned. The soft sheen of the platinum contrasts beautifully with the robustness of steel, creating a presence both sporty and sophisticated.
The present example stands as a timeless symbol of maritime grace and mechanical excellence, a watch that captures the essence of the Yacht-Master line: luxury born from function, elegance shaped by adventure.
