The Yacht Master first came out in 1992 and was only produced in yellow gold. Conceived as the deluxe version of the Submariner, a few years later, in 1999, Rolex introduced the Yacht Master 16622 Roselium (steel and platinum), as exemplified by the present lot. Combining for the first time stainless steel (main case and bracelet) and platinum (bezel and dial), this model has since been considered as the Yacht Master watch. The 16622 was produced until 2012 when it was replaced by the 116622 and also saw the introduction of the Yacht Master II in 2007. This watch is offered in very good condition retaining its protective factory stickers.
