Rolex Yacht-Master 42 mm in 18 ct White Gold (226659)

The Ultimate Expression of Nautical Luxury

The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 (226659) redefines the luxury sports watch by blending the brand's rich sailing heritage with an understated, contemporary aesthetic. Crafted from Rolex's proprietary 18 ct white gold, this 42 mm timepiece offers a substantial yet stealthy presence on the wrist. The striking contrast between the lustrous white gold case, the deep black dial, and the matte black Cerachrom bezel insert creates a highly sophisticated visual profile. Designed for the open seas but perfectly suited for the boardroom, the Yacht-Master 42 is a masterclass in elegant utility.

Why It Stands Out

• 18 ct White Gold Construction: The Oyster case is forged from Rolex's exclusive 18 ct white gold, cast in their in-house foundry to ensure peerless radiance, durability, and a premium tactile feel.

• Matte Cerachrom Bezel: The bidirectional rotatable bezel features a matte black ceramic Cerachrom insert with highly polished, raised 60-minute graduations, offering scratch resistance and exceptional legibility.

• Innovative Oysterflex Bracelet: Combines the robustness and reliability of a metal bracelet with the flexibility and comfort of an elastomer strap. It is equipped with an 18 ct white gold Oysterlock safety clasp and the Glidelock extension system for a perfect fit.

• Chromalight Display: The intense black dial is punctuated by large, applied hour markers and broad hands, all filled with an optimized luminescent material that emits a long-lasting blue glow in dark conditions.

• Calibre 3235 Movement: Powered by Rolex’s new-generation self-winding mechanical movement, offering outstanding performance in precision, power reserve (approximately 70 hours), resistance to shocks, and magnetic fields.
