Request a ValuationAbout the Rolex Yacht-Master
Launched in 1992, the Yacht-Master introduced the platinum-and-steel 'Rolesium' finish and later the Everose-on-Oysterflex look. The line also includes the Yacht-Master II with its programmable regatta countdown.
Yacht-Master references and generations
Key references and variants we regularly assess:
- Reference 16622 — Rolesium (platinum bezel and dial)
- Reference 116655 — Everose gold on Oysterflex strap
- Reference 126622 / 126655 — current 40mm generation
- Yacht-Master 37 and 42 case sizes
- Yacht-Master II regatta chronograph references
Movements and calibres
Yacht-Master references use in-house automatic calibres including the 3135 and current 3235. Running condition and service history feed the valuation.
What affects the value of a Rolex Yacht-Master
Among the factors we weigh when valuing a Rolex Yacht-Master:
- Reference, case size and metal
- Bracelet or Oysterflex strap
- Bezel and dial condition
- Box, papers and service records
- Overall condition and prior polishing
- Current demand for that configuration
Selling a Rolex Yacht-Master without box or papers
Missing paperwork does not put a sale out of reach. We may consider a Rolex Yacht-Master without its original box, papers, warranty card or receipt.
Any purchase remains subject to authentication, condition inspection, and ownership and identification checks. Documentation can affect valuation depending on the piece, and we will always explain how.
How Fair Vintage assesses your Rolex Yacht-Master
We look at originality first — dial, hands, case and, where relevant, bezel and bracelet — then movement condition and any service history.
Replacement parts, prior polishing, provenance, and box and papers all feed into the assessment. We explain our reasoning so the offer is one you can understand and rely on.
