Rolex Yacht-Master 226659

The Rolex Yacht-Master 226659 is the embodiment of modern nautical luxury—crafted in 18k white gold and paired with Rolex’s innovative Oysterflex bracelet for a bold yet refined presence on the wrist. Introduced as the 42 mm evolution of the iconic Yacht-Master line, this reference merges sporty functionality with unmistakable prestige.

Its deep black dial creates a striking contrast against the polished white gold case and bidirectional rotatable bezel with raised numerals. Chromalight hour markers emit a long-lasting blue glow, ensuring exceptional legibility in low-light conditions—whether at sea or in the city.

Powered by Rolex’s in-house Caliber 3235 movement, the Yacht-Master 42 delivers superior precision, a 70-hour power reserve, and outstanding resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. The Oysterflex bracelet combines the durability of metal with the comfort of elastomer, reinforced internally by a flexible metal blade—offering both security and comfort.

This 2022 example represents a contemporary classic—designed for collectors who demand performance, exclusivity, and understated power.
