Rolex yacht-master rose gold

The Rolex Yacht-Master in Everose rose gold blends nautical luxury with Swiss haute horlogerie precision.

About this subject

The Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced in 1992 as a luxury sports watch tailored for sailing and yachting. Unlike the Submariner, its design prioritizes comfort and elegance without sacrificing durability. The Everose gold version, launched in 2015 as reference 116655, features a lacquered black dial and a bidirectional bezel in black Cerachrom with engraved numerals and graduations filled with rose gold. The bidirectional rotatable bezel allows regatta timing calculation, essential for sailors.

The 40 mm Oyster case in Everose gold, an exclusive Rolex alloy that retains its color over time, houses the caliber 3135, a self-winding movement certified as a Swiss chronometer. Water resistance to 100 meters ensures safe use in nautical activities. A notable innovation is the Oysterflex bracelet, which combines a superelastic metal blade coated with high-resistance black rubber, offering superior comfort and durability. The Oysterlock safety clasp with extension prevents accidental opening.

The Yacht-Master 40 in Everose gold is one of Rolex's most coveted models, merging the brand's tradition with modern materials. Its refined aesthetic appeals to both collectors and sailing enthusiasts. The absence of a cyclops date lens on some versions reinforces dial symmetry. This watch is not just a timekeeping instrument but a statement of style and functionality in the luxury nautical sports world.
