This 2006 example features the striking NGS mother-of-pearl dial configuration with diamond hour markers, a specification that transformed the collection into something far more distinctive than its nautical name might suggest. The Rolesor case and bracelet construction pairs 904L stainless steel with 18-karat yellow gold, creating the signature contrast that defined an era of luxury sports watches before ceramic bezels and modern materials took hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 40mm Oyster case houses the caliber 3135, Rolex's workhorse automatic movement that has proven itself across decades of production with its 31-jewel construction, Paraflex shock absorbers, and reliable 48-hour power reserve. The movement beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and features the brand's proprietary blue Parachrom hairspring, offering superior resistance to magnetic fields and temperature variations. The bi-directional rotating bezel with raised polished numerals, screw-down crown with Triplock system, and sapphire crystal combine to maintain the 100-meter water resistance specification, though this example requires a replacement crystal and movement regulation to restore factory standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 40mm, this Yacht-Master wears with substantial presence on the wrist while remaining refined enough for varied occasions, the mother-of-pearl dial catching light in ways that solid dials simply cannot replicate. The two-tone aesthetic reads decidedly vintage today, carrying that unmistakable mid-2000s character that has begun to find renewed appreciation among collectors seeking alternatives to the current market's monochromatic preferences. This is a Yacht-Master for someone who understands that exceptional watches sometimes require restoration to reveal their full character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Investment Watches Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56693338865990,"sku":"A2139","price":13950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/5559\/3658\/files\/IMG_1827.png?v=1782247654","url":"https:\/\/www.investmentwatches.com\/products\/rolex-yacht-master-mother-of-pearl-and-diamond-markers-16623ngs-2006","provider":"Investment Watches Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
