Rolex Yacht-Master II Ref. 116688 in condition like new. This model represents the most uncompromisingly sporty interpretation of the Yacht-Master line and was conceived as a true regatta watch, with a presence that is instantly felt on the wrist. The 44 mm yellow gold case emphasizes its powerful character, while the distinctive bezel is not merely a design statement but an integral part of the watch’s functional operating concept. At its core is the programmable regatta countdown, intuitively set and synchronized via the Ring Command system — a technical feature that makes the Yacht-Master II truly unique within the Rolex collection.

a new luxury lifestyle
More luxurious than the Submariner, sportier than the Datejust and dressier than the GMT-Master, this was the timepiece superyacht owners had been waiting for. While Rolex has long been a supporter of yachting and experimented with a Yacht-Master dial prototype based on the Cosmograph in the 1960s, it was not until the 1990s that the brand introduced a watch explicitly dedicated to the nautical lifestyle. The first model to launch the Yacht-Master collection was the Yacht-Master ref. 16628. Initially exclusively available in 18 carat yellow gold, it was clear from the start that Rolex wanted to position the Yacht-Master above the regular sports watch with plenty of style and flair.

A succesfull partnership
Rolex's official link with the sailing world began in 1958 when it signed a sponsorship agreement with the New York Yacht Club (NYYC), the driving force behind the oldest regatta in sailing - the America's Cup. Since then, Rolex has sponsored the world's most prestigious regattas and sailing races.
