Sailing holds a distinguished place in Rolex’s heritage. In 1958, the brand forged a partnership with the New York Yacht Club, founders of the legendary America’s Cup. Over time, Rolex expanded its ties to prestigious yacht clubs worldwide and became synonymous with premier nautical events, including offshore races and coastal regattas.
These enduring associations culminated in 1992 with the introduction of the Yacht-Master. Combining the robustness and water resistance of the iconic Oyster case with a bidirectional bezel featuring raised 60-minute graduations, the Yacht-Master allows precise calculation and reading of navigational time. Unique among Rolex’s professional watches, the Yacht-Master blends elegance with sportiness and was the first to be offered with the innovative Oysterflex bracelet in 2015.
The present example is offered in never-worn condition, presenting an opportunity for collectors to acquire a watch designed for those who navigate life’s course with confidence and grace, always keeping their sights on the horizon.
