About the Yacht-Master family
The Yacht-Master was introduced in 1992 as a more polished sailing-themed version of the Oyster sports watch, first in yellow gold. In 1999 Rolex added Rolesium, a combination of a steel case with a platinum bezel and dial, which made the model more widely available.
Later developments include the Everose versions on the Oysterflex rubber bracelet from 2015, the 42 mm white gold ref. 226659 and the RLX titanium ref. 226627 of 2023. References in this catalog include the 126621 in Everose Rolesor, the 126655 in Everose on Oysterflex and the 37 mm ref. 268622. Dealers describe these by metal, size and bracelet, since sizes and combinations vary widely within the line.
