The Rolex Yacht-Master II
In yacht racing, the Rolex Yacht-Master II is your go-to timepiece. Designed for high seas, its patented Ring Command Bezel makes it indispensable for any water sports enthusiast. Now reintroduced by Rolex, it’s a collector's item, adding exclusivity to its standout features.
The Rolex Yacht-Master II stands as a genuine racing tool and bold accessory. Its waterproof design endures the high seas, complemented by a mechanical memory countdown from ten minutes to zero, enhancing its utility in regattas. This watch is a must-have for anyone serious about their time on the water.
New Models and Features
In 2026, Rolex introduced two new references to the Yacht-Master II collection, showcasing enhanced designs and features. Ref 126680 comes with a 44 mm case in Oystersteel and a white lacquer dial, offering a robust and modern take on the classic model. Meanwhile, Ref 126688 presents an opulent option with a 44 mm case in 18 ct yellow gold, also paired with a white lacquer dial. Both models are driven by the calibre 4162, incorporating the advanced Chronergy escapement for increased precision and power reserve.
Colorways and Materials
The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master II comes in various materials. The stainless-steel version with a blue bezel and a white dial is classic, complete with ‘Mercedes’ hands. Pre-owned, these pieces sell for around €14.000, with prices reaching up to €18.000 for never-worn ones.
In 2022, Rolex enhanced the collection with a two-tone stainless-steel and rose gold model, combining a blue bezel with a white dial. This yacht-worthy watch, priced around €23.000 on Wristler, features an Oyster bracelet crafted from stainless steel and rose gold. Opting for the white or yellow gold models also affords exclusive luxury, with pricing reflecting both condition and scarcity.
Key features on the Yacht-Master II include its three-piece Oyster Bracelet, found on different watches like the Daytona, Submariner, or GMT-Master II. The bracelet's easylink adjustment makes it convenient to wear, regardless of temperature changes or water activities, thanks to its 100-meter water resistance.
Price Trends and Availability
The Rolex Yacht-Master II's value varies widely in the pre-owned market, with prices often below their original retail. For instance, the stainless steel Ref 116680 ranges from €14.000 to €16.000, whereas the retail price was €18.750. The two-tone Everose Rolesor Ref 116681 fetches between €17.000 and €20.000, in contrast to its retail price of €25.350. The 18k yellow gold Ref 116688 and the white gold and platinum Ref 116689 also show notable discrepancies between their market and retail prices, with pre-owned examples often priced based on condition and rarity. We still have to wait what the new pieces will cost, since these aren’t available in large numbers just yet, but expectation is that these will trade under retail as well.
