Reference: 226659 | 2022 Model | Full Set
The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226659 perfectly combines the luxury of precious metal with the versatility of a modern sports watch. Crafted entirely from 18k white gold, this 2022 full set example pairs the striking black dial with Rolex’s innovative Oysterflex bracelet, creating one of the most distinctive and wearable references in the Yacht-Master collection.
Housed in a robust 42 mm Oyster case, the watch offers substantial wrist presence while maintaining the elegant proportions that define the Yacht-Master range. The rich black dial features Chromalight luminescent hour markers and Mercedes hands, providing exceptional legibility in all conditions. Surrounding the dial is the signature bidirectional bezel, fitted with a matte black Cerachrom insert and raised polished numerals, lending the watch its unmistakable sporty character.
Powering the watch is the advanced Rolex Calibre 3235, a next-generation automatic movement equipped with the Chronergy escapement and blue Parachrom hairspring. Offering approximately 70 hours of power reserve, the movement delivers outstanding precision, efficiency, and reliability, all certified to Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer standard.
Completing the watch is the innovative Oysterflex bracelet, combining the durability and comfort of high-performance elastomer with the strength of flexible metal blades inside. The bracelet is secured by an 18k white gold Oysterlock clasp and incorporates the Rolex Glidelock extension system, allowing fine adjustments for optimal comfort.
