Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 116622 'Blue' Dial 2014 w/ Box & Papers

$21,450.00 NZD

The Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 116622 occupies a specific and considered position within the Rolex sports catalogue — the Yacht-Master in its most technically resolved and materially sophisticated configuration. The 'Rolesium' designation describes the pairing of an Oystersteel case with a platinum bezel, a combination that gives the watch a cool, two-tone material contrast without the formality of gold and with the scratch resistance that platinum's density provides over any other bezel material Rolex offers. Introduced in this configuration in 2012, the 116622 replaced the Ref. 16622 with a larger 40mm case and brought the Caliber 3135 into what had always been one of the more wearable and contextually flexible references in the Rolex family.

Materials

Stainless steel & platinum

The 'Rolesium' configuration — Oystersteel case paired with a platinum bezel — is the material detail that defines the 116622 within the Yacht-Master family. Platinum is the densest and most scratch-resistant of the bezel materials Rolex offers, and its cool grey tone against the steel case and blue dial produces a material harmony that neither gold nor ceramic replicates on this reference
The blue sunburst dial shifts perceptibly between deep navy and a more saturated mid-blue as light conditions change — a rhodium-finished surface that gives the watch a visual dynamism and depth entirely appropriate to its maritime point of reference
The Caliber. 3135 is one of the most proven and respected movements Rolex has produced — introduced in 1988 and running in various references for decades thereafter, its reputation for accuracy and longevity is well-established and reflected here in a +3 seconds per day result on a movement now over a decade from new
