The Rolex with an assertive and elegant nautical look

Description

As its name suggests, the Yacht-Master is the watch for the open sea. With its sporty design, its rotating platinum bezel, its certified chronometer movement and its water-resistant case to 100m, it perfectly illustrates the nautical spirit. An elegant watch, perfect for a feminine wrist thanks to a diameter of 35mm (the smallest for this model) and a satin silver dial, which can also evoke the reflections of the sun on the water. The subtle colored touch is given by the red second hand, echoing the model's inscription. Highly readable and equipped with the date, it is a daily ally.

How to wear it?

This Yacht-Master is the one that brings a refined sporty look to a casual outfit. Despite its graduated bezel which can appear imposing, this model remains discreet thanks to the satin-finish color of the dial. Elegance and reliability are essential.

Why did Françoise choose it?

The Yacht-Master is a very beautiful sports watch, offered in very good condition, its box and all its original papers. In addition to its essential design, it offers all the necessary qualities allowing it to be worn in all circumstances, both during daily life and during your vacations.

History

Since the 1950s, Rolex has been linked to the world of sailing and marine sports: the Yacht-Master, released in 1992, inspired by the Submariner, is its heir. Two years later, the watchmaker offered a smaller version, perfect for women. This is also the first time that Rolex has offered different sizes for a professional model. Until now in gold, the model experienced real popularity when a steel version with a platinum bezel was launched in 1999. Since then, the Yacht-Master has been a delight for collectors and amateurs, sportspeople and vacationers alike.
