Rolex Yacht-Master 35 Platinum Dial, Steel & Platinum, 168622
The Rolex Yacht-Master was originally conceived as the brand’s luxurious sport watch, seamlessly blending refined elegance with rugged utility. A direct descendent of the iconic Submariner, the Yacht-Master is purposefully crafted for sailing, but it distinguishes itself by emphasizing refinement over purely utilitarian functionality. This mid-sized 35mm variant embodies this fusion, crafted from a combination of platinum and steel - a proprietary alloy Rolex refers to as “Rolesium”.
The dial features a textured, grainy platinum finish that comes alive under light, revealing its intricate beauty. The functional bi-directional bezel, also crafted from platinum, features raised, glossy numerals set against a similarly textured, grainy backdrop. However, what truly sets this watch apart and lends it a distinctive appeal is the brightly colored red second hand and the Yacht-Master branding in vibrant red, offering a striking contrast to the otherwise monochromatic color scheme. The Oyster case features polished lugs and is complemented by the classic Oyster bracelet with polished center links, both elements accentuating the watch's inherent elegance.
In its relatively brief existence, the Rolex Yacht-Master has solidified its status as a future classic timepiece. Pioneering a proprietary platinum and steel alloy, the Yacht-Master achieves an understated yet refined luster. This distinctively elegant yet robust watch is a compelling addition to any timepiece collection, appealing especially to those who yearn for the open water.
