Is The Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 126622 Officially Cool Now?

Is the Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 126622 a cool watch? I get asked this question – or a variation of it – with increasing frequency these days.  There was a time, not so long ago, when I didn’t give much thought to this model. And to be fair, neither did anyone else. The Yacht-Master was always kind of the odd one out in the Rolex sports watch collection. You couldn’t fault its credentials per se, but it didn’t quite belong.

In recent years though, Rolex has worked to improve the Yacht-Master’s positioning. Making it a little less luxe and a little more utilitarian. The overwhelming demand for steel Rolex sports watches has also played a big part. If you can’t get your first choice, you go for your second and so on. Now though, the Ref 126622 is becoming the first choice for more and more watch lovers. Not the third or fourth. And this is being reflected in its pricing on the secondary market. So, can we say the Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 126622 is officially cool now? As always, I’ll lay it out and you can make up your own mind.

A (Very) Brief History Of The Rolex Yacht-Master

By Rolex standards, the Yacht-Master is quite a modern addition to the collection. Yacht-Master dial prototypes first appeared in the 1960s. But the inaugural production model didn’t make its debut until the early 1990s. That said, the brand has been present in the world of sailing for decades. Forging an alliance with the New York Yacht Club in 1958. Many more such partnerships would soon follow and still continue to this day.

The first Yacht-Master was the Ref 16628 and it was only available in solid yellow gold. There’s nothing unusual about that per se. Introducing new models in gold cases first is a common strategy for Rolex. The Smurf is a good example of this, after which the Hulk followed in steel. But with the Yacht-Master there was an added reason for doing so. Rolex wanted to position it more as a sporty yet luxurious watch as opposed to a practical tool watch. In line with this the Ref 16628 was also offered with several Serti dial options. (Rolex speak for gem-set dials.)

Rolex Yacht-Master 16628

Fancy dials aside, the Yacht-Master is very much styled after the Submariner . Rumour has it that Rolex was even considering an overhaul of that model. But cooler heads prevailed and instead a new collection launched. Regardless, the spec sheets read very similar. 40mm case. Mercedes hands. Upside down triangle at 12 o’clock. Circular and rectangular markers for the hours. Date with cyclops. Rotating bezel with 60-minute markings. (Although on the Yacht-Master it’s bi-directional. Whereas on the Submariner – and all dive watches – it’s uni-directional.)

The Ref 16628 even used the same movement as the Ref 16610. The Calibre 3135. The only practical difference (aside from the bezel) was that it was only water resistant to 100m. Which is why a lot of collectors weren’t that enamoured with the Yacht-Master. It was like buying a Submariner-junior.

This perception wasn’t helped by the addition of 29mm and 35mm Yacht-Masters in 1994. Rolex has never offered any of its other Professional watches in reduced cases sizes. Before or since. It’s not a bad thing per se. But it made it clear the Yacht-Master was more of a ‘lifestyle’ watch.

Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 16622

Things started getting a little more interesting for the Yacht-Master collection in 1999. That’s when Rolex unveiled the steel Ref 16622. I say steel but the technical name (at least the one Rolex invented) is Rolesium. This signifies – in Rolex speak – that the case combines both steel and platinum. The Yacht-Master was the first to debut this pairing. And Rolex has kept it exclusive to the collection ever since.

Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 16622

I’m not sure why Rolex chose platinum for the bezel of the steel Yacht-Master. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say it was all about differentiating it as “luxury-first” watch. Whatever the reason, the end result is actually pretty cool. The bezel itself has a sandblasted finish. While the raised numerals have a high polish. Combined with the sandblasted, platinum dial it creates a very attractive monochromatic effect. (And yes, the dial is actually made from platinum.) The seconds hand and the “Yacht-Master” text in bright red add just the right level of contrast.

These days you can pick up a good quality Ref 16622 for around US$10,000 . Which is quite reasonable for a steel Rolex. The reference still doesn’t get that much love from collectors. But it is practical for daily wear and still offers chronometer precision. If you’re in the market for one, check out our retail partner WatchBox . ( Affiliate link. )

Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 116622

In 2012, Rolex introduced the upgraded Ref 116622. This is the Yacht-Master most people are familiar with. It’s not too different from its predecessor although there are some key changes. The main one being the introduction of a rich blue dial with sunray finish. I don’t know what it is but platinum cases and blue dials go together like ham and cheese. Even when the use of platinum is sparing, as in the case of the Yacht-Master. Both dials (the platinum and the blue one) also feature Chromalight for the first time.

Rolex retired the platinum dial in 2016. In its place came the now familiar rhodium dial with light blue contrasts. For some it was the wrong decision. After all the platinum dial was one of the USPs of the Yacht-Master. Others welcomed the change, saying it gives the model more modern appeal. Plus the watch doesn’t feel quite as weighty on the wrist. I can see it both ways although I do think the grained platinum dial is very cool.

Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 116622 Bright Blue Dial

Another upgrade is the solid link bracelet with the spring-loaded Oysterlock clasp. This was a big improvement over the clasp on the Ref 16622. Rolex also added a new bezel which has 120 clicks in both directions. Not a game-changer but noticeable none the less when compared against previous models. Inside was the same Calibre 3135.

There’s no doubt the Ref 116622 is an upgrade on its predecessor. Which is why you can expect to pay a considerable amount more for one. Somewhere in the vicinity of US$13,500 – US$15,500 depending on age and condition. Keep in mind Rolex produced this reference right the way up to 2018.

Rolex Yacht-Master Ref 126622

The current reference of the Rolex Yacht-Master is the Ref 126622. Debuted in 2019 this watch looks like a carbon copy of its predecessor. And from a visual standpoint, it is. Rolex had already tweaked the Yacht-Master quite a bit by this point. So, there was not much left to improve on the case and bracelet. And the blue and slate dial options have become synonymous with the model.

2019 rolex yacht master 40

One thing that did change though is the movement inside. Rolex added its upgraded Calibre 3235. The same movement that would find its way into the new Submariner a year later. Rolex was already using it in the Datejust 41 and the Sea-Dweller . This self-winding mechanical movement boasts 14 patents in total. Including the Chronergy escapement, combining high energy efficiency with greater dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also insensitive to magnetic interference. New barrel architecture and superior efficiency means a power reserve of 70 hours.

Rolex Calibre 3235

Like the 3135, the 3235 gets the Superlative Chronometer certification. Meaning it is very accurate (−2/+2 seconds per day) and reliable. It also features an instantaneous date at 3 o’clock with secure rapid-setting.

Price & Availability

The recommended retail price for the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ref 126622 is around US$11,800 . Making it quite a bit more expensive than a Submariner. Of course, that means nothing as neither watch is available at retail. At least not to the average joe walking in off the street with no buying history.

As such, you can expect to pay closer to US$16,000 – US$17,000 on the secondary market for a Ref 126622. Still competitive compared to what some other steel Rolex watches are trading at. But a tough pill to swallow none the less. Again, if you’re in the market check out our retail partner WatchBox . ( Affiliate link. )

Is The Yacht-Master Ref 126622 Officially Cool Now?

This is a tricky one. Rolex has definitely evolved the Ref 126622 to become an attractive standalone package. And there’s no doubt it’s a good-looking watch. But it’s hard to know how much of the appeal is being driven by hype. And the lack of availability of other steel Rolex alternatives. Versus watch lovers discovering a genuine appreciation for this model.

Ask yourself this question. If you had the option of buying any steel Rolex model at retail, would the Ref 126622 still get a second look? I’m not so sure the answer would be yes. But then again, there’s no denying the Yacht-Master has its own unique appeal. Which could be the reason it’s stayed in the Rolex line-up for close to 30 years.

  • Case:  Oyster – 40 mm – Oystersteel and platinum – monobloc middle case, screw-down case back and winding crown – 950 platinum bidirectional rotatable bezel, 60-minute graduated with raised numerals– twin-lock double waterproof crown – waterproof to 100 metres / 330 feet.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Ultimate Buying Guide

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 buying guide

First released at Baselworld 2019, the Yacht-Master 42 is the newest and largest addition to the Rolex Yacht-Master lineup. Historically, the Yacht Master collection has been the only Rolex sports model available in multiple sizes; however, until the release of the Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226659, 40mm was the largest case size available. Despite the fact that the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 introduced a new and larger 42mm case to the collection, at the time of writing, the model is only offered in a single configuration: a 42mm white gold case fitted with a black dial, black ceramic bezel, and matching black Oysterflex bracelet.

At first glance, the Rolex Yacht Master 42 reference 226659 appears very similar to the 40mm Everose gold model that is also fitted with an Oysterflex bracelet. Both watches feature black dials, matte black ceramic bezels with raised polished numerals, black Oysterflex bracelets, and Rolex’s in-house Caliber 3235 movement. However, while the core design of the Yacht-Master 42 is shared with the other Oysterflex Yacht-Master watches, the larger case paired with its toned-down monochromatic color profile makes it immediately distinct, and these small changes come together to make the Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226659 the perfect poster child for the modern Rolex brand.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Oysterflex White Gold 226659

The History of the Rolex Yacht Master 42

Compared to many of Rolex’s other lines of watches, the Yacht-Master is a fairly young collection, having only just joined the brand’s catalog in 1992. While Rolex originally built much of its reputation by producing tough-as-nails tool watches, the brand had already started to make its transition towards becoming an all-out luxury manufacturer by the 1980s, and the Yacht-Master was created as an unapologetically luxurious take on the brand’s classic sports watch.

The Rolex Yacht-Master largely follows the same overall design as the Submariner, but leans more towards the opulent and luxurious side of things, rather than being a purpose-built underwater timing tool. Both the Submariner and the Yacht-Master feature rotating timing bezels, but while the Submariner’s bezel rotates unidirectionally and features a luminous dot at the zero-marker, the Yacht-Master’s moves bi-directionally and omits the luminous dot in favor of an insert crafted from either solid gold, platinum, or black ceramic. Similarly, all Rolex Yacht-Master watches feature precious metals somewhere in their construction. Even the most humble models that are largely crafted from stainless steel feature solid platinum bezels, and while the bezel insert on the reference 226659 is built from black ceramic, the watch itself is crafted from solid 18k white gold.

Initially, the Rolex Yacht-Master was exclusively offered in solid yellow gold and with a 40mm case. However, over the years, the collection expanded to include other case sizes and materials including both two-tone and Rolesium (a combination of stainless steel and platinum) references. Both a 29mm Lady Yacht-Master and 35mm Midsize Yacht-Master were previously offered alongside the standard 40mm model, but these two smaller versions were ultimately discontinued in favor of the Midsize Yacht-Master 37.

With that in mind, Baselworld 2019 marked the arrival of both an all-new Yacht-Master size and a new material option for the collection. With the launch of the reference 226659, not only was the Rolex Yacht-Master now available with a 42mm case diameter for the first time in its history but it was also offered with a solid 18k white gold case – something that was previously not an option within the standard Yacht-Master collection. While the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 marked a major step forward for the collection, the new 42mm case size is exclusively available for the ref. 226659, and the watch is only available in one single configuration. Given that the Yacht-Master 42 has only been on the market for a couple of years, many collectors speculate that the solid 18k white gold ref. 226659 is just the first of many 42mm Rolex Yacht-Master watches.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 226659 White Gold 42mm Oysterflex

Rolex Yacht Master 42 Defining Elements

For the most part, the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 reference 226659 is a larger, white gold version of the Everose Yacht-Master 40 that is also on an Oysterflex bracelet. However, the ref. 226659 does possess a number of unique traits that make it immediately identifiable and separate it from all other Rolex watches.

42mm White Gold Case

Probably the single most defining feature of the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 reference 226659 is its 42mm case crafted from solid 18k white gold. Not only is this unique because the ref. 226659 is the only 42mm Yacht-Master model, but it also holds the distinction of being the only one that has ever been constructed from white gold. Over the course of the Yacht-Master’s history, it has been created in full 18k yellow gold, Yellow Rolesor (stainless steel and yellow gold), Rolesium (stainless steel and platinum), full 18k Everose gold, and Everose Rolesor (stainless steel and Everose gold). Additionally, there is even a version of the 44mm Yacht-Master II regatta timer that is built from white gold with a platinum bezel, but the reference 226659 is the only iteration of the classic Yacht-Master to be offered in full 18k white gold.

Black Cerachrom Bezel

Just like the 37mm and 40mm Everose gold Rolex Yacht-Master models that are also fitted with Oysterflex bracelets, the Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226659 receives a bidirectional timing bezel with an insert that is crafted from Rolex’s proprietary Cerachrom ceramic material. The black ceramic insert is given a matte-sandblasted texture, with raised graduations that feature a high-polish finish for improved contrast. Despite having both a different case size and being made from different materials, the matte black ceramic insert on the Yacht-Master 42 instantly unites it with the rest of the Oysterflex bracelets Yacht-Master watches in Rolex’s portfolio.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Oysterflex 42mm White Gold 226659

Oysterflex Bracelet

The Rolex Oysterflex bracelet is quite possibly the most over-engineered rubber strap in the world – however, to call it a “rubber strap” is a bit misleading. Rolex specifically refers to it as a bracelet within its catalog because the elastomer strap features a flexible metal core for optimum durability and longevity. Additionally, the underside of the strap features a comfort pad that elevates the strap slightly off the wrist, better distributing the weight of the watch and promoting airflow and breathability.

One of the more interesting details about how Rolex has chosen to structure its catalog is that the Oysterflex bracelet (seemingly the most sporty and least formal option) is exclusively equipped to the brand’s solid gold models. Whether fitted to a Daytona, Sky-Dweller, or Yacht-Master watch, all of the Oysterflex-equipped models are crafted from solid 18k gold (either yellow, white, or Everose). At the time of writing, the Oysterflex bracelet is only found on the full 18k Everose gold Yachtmaster 40 and Yacht-Master 37 watches, along with the 18k white gold Yacht-Master 42.

Rolex Caliber 3235 Movement

Despite being 2mm larger than the current Yacht-Master 40, the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 is powered by the exact same Caliber 3235 movement. Designed and manufactured entirely in-house by Rolex, the Cal. 3235 represents the brand’s latest generation of date-displaying mechanical movements and can be found in a number of other date-displaying Rolex watches, including all-time classics like the Datejust and the Submariner.

The Caliber 3235 movement is based around Rolex’s new Chronergy escapement, which features a skeletonized structure for improved efficiency. When combined with Rolex’s proprietary blue Parachrom hairspring and a redesigned gear train and mainspring barrel, the Caliber 3235 offers users an increased power reserve of 70 hours, which represents a significant step up from the 48-hour reserve offered by its predecessor. Additionally, despite its improved efficiency, the Rolex Cal. 3235 movement adheres to the same incredibly stringent ‘Superlative Chronometer’ precision standards, which permit a maximum timekeeping deviation of -2/+2 seconds per day.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 Price and Availability

The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 reference 226659 has only been around for a couple of years, so it is still in production and available for purchase from retailers and boutiques. However, as anyone who is familiar with Rolex watches will tell you, finding the model you want brand-new and available for immediate sale is virtually impossible and for many highly popular references, there is no way to buy a brand-new Rolex without spending a significant amount of time on a waiting list. As a result of this lack of availability on a retail level, many buyers turn to the secondary market, where they can add a Rolex Yachtmaster 42 ref. 226659 to their collections without the wait.

How Much is a Rolex Yacht-Master 42?

As of 2021, the retail price for a brand-new Rolex Yacht-Master 42 reference 226659 is $28,900, which represents a $1,600 premium compared to its 40mm Everose gold counterpart. However, due to the fact that the white gold Yacht-Master 42 cannot be purchased at a retail level without being on a waiting list, pre-owned prices exceed their brand-new values and you can expect to pay a premium of several thousand dollars if you wish to skip the line and add one to your collection today.

Where to Buy a Rolex Yacht-Master 42

Since the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226659 is still in production, you can technically still buy it brand-new from Rolex retailers and boutiques – just as long as you are willing to wait out the cue. A similar story exists for most of the popular modern Rolex models; however, compared to the steep premiums that many of the brand’s stainless steel sports watches trade hands for on the open market (which can frequently reach values in excess of 100% above their brand-new retail prices), the comparatively reasonable premium of a few thousand dollars to skip the line for a reference 226659 Yachtmaster 42 means that buyers often opt for a pre-owned example, where availability is immediate and guaranteed.

Rolex Yacht-Master 42: A Modern Luxury Sports Watch

Rolex may have originally built much of its legendary reputation by building tough and reliable sport and tool watches, but the brand’s days as a manufacturer of utilitarian timekeeping devices have long since passed. These days, Rolex is an all-out luxury brand and it is arguably the single most famous luxury label in the entire world. The thought of a military branch supplying its troops with Rolex Submariner watches has become almost comical given that countless people all around the globe are unable to buy a Submariner, despite being more than willing to pay full retail price for one. In fact, the Rolex Submariner is so in-demand that most people are willing to pay far more than the brand-new retail price, just to skip the multi-year waiting list and add one to their collections.

Despite Rolex’s transition towards becoming a luxury manufacturer, it has never stopped producing reliable and finely crafted sports watches. However, the nature of its sports watches has certainly evolved to take on a more luxury-oriented approach, just like the brand’s positioning within the greater watch market. Rolex was producing sports watches back in the 1950s and 1960s and although its products were always considered to be premium timepieces, they were hardly regarded as luxury items, let alone status symbols.

These days, Rolex sports watches are some of the most iconic and desirable luxury timepieces in existence, and wearing one has become a universally recognized symbol of success and personal accomplishment. As a result of the implicit connotations that they carry, modern Rolex sports watches need to do more than just be tough and reliable; they also need to offer a bit of flash and match the opulent and exclusive image of Rolex itself.

The Yacht-Master 42 reference 226659 is the perfect poster-child for the modern Rolex brand. Its monochromatic color profile paired with its matte black ceramic bezel and black Oysterflex bracelet makes the watch inherently casual and sporty, and at first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking that this was a humble stainless steel model. However, at its core, the Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226659 is a $30k solid gold Rolex. Wearing a Rolex watch has become a universally recognized status symbol, but Rolex is not a brand known for making over-the-top, statement pieces. The white gold Yacht-Master 42 is the perfect statement piece for those that do not want to make a statement, and that is precisely why the reference 226659 is the perfect poster-child for the modern Rolex brand.

Staying on course

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 40 in 18 ct Everose gold with an Oysterflex bracelet.

Diamond-paved dial, optimal brilliance.

Diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds – the noblest and most precious stones are selected to grace Rolex timepieces. The brand has in-house expertise and equipment enabling it to bejewel any model in its catalogue.

Experienced gemmologists first select gemstones of the highest quality. For this, they can rely on their own seasoned judgement as well as state-of-the-art analysis equipment. The stones are then entrusted to the gem-setters, who skilfully place each precious stone onto the watch by hand, one by one, assuring precision to within hundredths of a millimetre. Such stringent tolerances guarantee that each stone shines with optimal brilliance and is perfectly aligned with those around it. These time-honoured gestures, which may be repeated many hundreds of times, ensure that each gem-set watch produced by Rolex sparkles with exceptional intensity and reflects the standard of excellence required by the brand.

Bidirectional Rotatable Bezel

Timing the distance.

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from precious metals or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-tech ceramic. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background.

This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

The Oysterflex Bracelet

Highly resistant and durable.

The Yacht-Master’s new Oysterflex bracelet, developed by Rolex and patented, offers a sporty alternative to metal bracelets. The bracelet attaches to the watch case and the Oysterlock safety clasp by a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade.

The blade is overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer which is particularly resistant to environmental effects, very durable and perfectly inert for the wearer of the watch. For enhanced comfort, the inside of the Oysterflex bracelet is equipped with a patented longitudinal cushion system that stabilizes the watch on the wrist and fitted with an 18 ct Everose gold Oysterlock safety clasp. It also features the Rolex Glidelock extension system, designed by the brand and patented. This inventive toothed mechanism, integrated beneath the clasp, allows fine adjustment of the bracelet length by some 15 mm in increments of approximately 2.5 mm, without the use of tools.

18 ct Everose gold

An exclusive patent

To preserve the beauty of its pink gold watches, Rolex created and patented an exclusive 18 ct pink gold alloy cast in its own foundry: Everose gold.

Introduced in 2005, 18 ct Everose is used on all Rolex Oyster models in pink gold.
