Launched in the early 1990s, the Rolex Yacht-Master believed by many was a reinterpretation of the coveted Submariner model. However, when stakeholders realized that the iconic Submariner should not be replaced, they introduced a new line by the way of the Yacht-Master. While its depth rating stands at 100 meters, the Yacht-Master targeted a different audience seeking for quality robustness enhanced with a luxurious touch. Primarily launched in precious metals only, Rolex introduced a wide array of sizes, case material and dial configurations following their successful launch in the early 1990s.

The present Rolex Yacht-Master ref. 168628 in yellow gold features a rather friendly mid-size 35mm diameter case. Fitted with its original yellow gold Rolex Oyster bracelet, the flamboyance of the present timepiece is further witnessed on its lustrous mother of pearl dial adorned with diamond and sapphire-set indexes. Well-preserved and complete with its full set of accessories, the present timepiece will surely not disappoint as one of the perfect summer wristwatches to sport at the beach or on a yacht.
