Rolex Yacht-Master Midsize 18ct, 168628

We are proud to present this stylish Rolex Yacht-Master Midsize 18ct gold watch for sale.

The Yacht-Master was first introduced in 1992 as a more luxurious alternative to the other Rolex sports models. It features a slightly more curved case that was completely polished and a uni-rotational, 60-minute graduated bezel with raised numerals.

This reference, the 168628 was first produced in 1994 (two years after the launch of the Yacht-Master collection) and comes set in a polished 35mm solid 18ct yellow gold Oyster case with a bi-rotational bezel made of matching yellow gold with raised polished numerals that stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background. The dial is a striking blue colour with a gold second hand and matching colour Yacht-Master text. The hands and edges of the hour markers are all gold to prevent tarnishing, whilst the hour markers are filled with Tritium. The dial is finished off with the classic date feature at 3 o’clock with a cyclops in sapphire crystal and a Triple lock screw-down crown allowing water resistance up to 100m. Powered by the Rolex calibre 2235 automatic movement and fitted on a brushed/polished 18ct yellow gold Oyster link bracelet with a folding Oysterlock safety clasp.

Originally purchased in December 1997 and in mint condition (for its age), this Yacht-Master comes with genuine Rolex inner & outer boxes. This Yacht-Master is sold with a 12-month warranty from SWC and these models rarely come up, so would be a great piece for any Rolex enthusiast.
