Rolex Yacht-Master with a Pearl dial

Rolex Yacht-Master Pearl dial

The Yacht-Master is the sport watch that dresses for the marina, a sailing companion with polish. Within the Oyster Perpetual universe it sits at the elegant end of Rolex’s professional spectrum, pairing the robust Oyster case and water resistance with a bi-directional rotatable bezel that reads as function and jewelry in equal measure.

The pearl dial, most often a mother of pearl dial, brings natural iridescence that shifts from silvery ice to soft pink and green. No two are identical, which is part of the charm. You will see simple applied indices on some pieces, and on others diamond hour markers or even a diamond bezel, turning the look from breezy to black-tie without losing that yachting watch attitude.

Cased in precious metals, the case, bracelet, bezel and crown are solid 18k gold. Sizes typically include 37 mm, 40 mm, and 42 mm, with bracelets that match the mood, the classic three-link Oyster bracelet. Movements are automatic and chronometer rated, true to the self-winding movement reputation of Swiss watchmaking.

• Yacht-Master 37 mm, 268622 or 268655, select MOP dial variants.
• Yacht-Master 40 mm, 126622 or 126655, Rolesium and Everose options.
• Legacy 116622 and 116655, pre-owned favorites with pearl dial executions.

Pricing depends on size, metals, gem settings, and whether you find a full set. New pieces, where available, often range around €25.000 to €70.000. Pre-owned examples typically sit near €22.000 to €65.000, with stronger premiums for precious metals, diamond hour markers, and top condition. For collectors, the appeal is clear, a luxury timepiece that blends sailing heritage with a distinctive MOP dial, a stylishly unisex Rolex that wears confidently from deck to dinner and keeps strong interest among watch collectors.
