Rolex Yacht-Master 42 , 226658

We are proud to present this exceptional Rolex Yacht-Master 42, reference 226658, offered in unworn, fully stickered condition and fully checked in our workshop.

Introduced in 1992, the Yacht-Master brought a more luxurious, more versatile interpretation to Rolex’s professional watch family. While it shares the Oyster case architecture and maritime capability expected of a Rolex sports watch, the Yacht-Master has always stood apart through its elevated materials, bidirectional timing bezel, and more refined presence on the wrist. The 42mm Yacht-Master in 18ct yellow gold continues that tradition, pairing bold sports-watch proportions with precious-metal warmth and the technical practicality of the Oysterflex bracelet.

This reference 226658 is housed in a 42mm 18ct yellow gold Oyster case and fitted with a bidirectional rotatable 60-minute bezel featuring a matt black Cerachrom insert with polished raised numerals and graduations. The black dial is clean and highly legible, with large Chromalight hour markers and hands, along with the classic date display at 3 o’clock beneath a sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnification. The watch is powered by the Rolex calibre 3235 automatic movement and is water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet, ensured by the Triplock screw-down crown. It is completed by the signature black Oysterflex bracelet with Oysterlock clasp, a Rolex-developed elastomer bracelet designed to combine the comfort of rubber with the robustness of a metal core.

Presented in unworn condition with all stickers intact, this example is supplied with its inner and outer Rolex boxes, international warranty card, green leather card holder, booklets, and both swing tags. Originally purchased in December 2025.

A striking and highly desirable modern Rolex sports watch, luxurious and unmistakably contemporary.
