Rolex Yacht-Master II Reference 116681 with papers in nearly unworn condition. The Yacht-Master II is one of Rolex's most technically sophisticated sports watches and was developed specifically for professional regatta racing.

The combination of stainless steel and Everose gold gives the watch a striking presence and combines sporty functionality with luxurious appeal. The robust Oyster case with a diameter of 44 mm ensures high water resistance and suitability for everyday use, while the in-house caliber 4161 stands for maximum precision and reliability.

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.
