Rolex Yachtmaster Rhodium 37mm 268622 2023 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Rolex Yacht-Master 37mm 268622 offers a refined and elegant take on the brand’s professional sports watches, setting itself apart with a distinctive blend of sportiness and luxury. Unlike the bold and rugged appeal of the Submariner or GMT-Master II, the Yacht-Master feels more polished and versatile, thanks to its sleek 37mm case and shimmering rhodium sunburst dial. The combination of Oystersteel and platinum lends it a soft, understated glow that exudes sophistication, making it just as suited for a formal evening out as it is for a relaxed day by the sea.

What makes this Yacht-Master truly stand out is its dial. The rhodium finish shifts subtly under different lighting, transitioning from a deep metallic grey to a bright silver sheen. The aqua blue seconds hand and text provide a modern contrast, offering a vibrant detail that feels playful yet tasteful. The platinum bezel, with its raised numerals and sandblasted finish, adds an extra layer of refinement, differentiating it from the tool-like functionality of the ceramic bezels found on the Submariner or GMT-Master II. Instead of an all-business approach, the Yacht-Master embraces a more luxurious, relaxed elegance.

On the wrist, the 37mm case makes the watch feel incredibly wearable, particularly for those who find larger professional Rolex models too bulky. It wears smaller and lighter than a Submariner but still carries the signature robustness of a Rolex sports watch. Unlike the fully brushed finishes of the Explorer or Sea-Dweller, the polished center links of the bracelet give it a dressier feel, adding to its effortless crossover appeal between casual and formal occasions.

In the world of Rolex professional models, the Yacht-Master 268622 is a statement of understated luxury. It doesn’t shout for attention like a two-tone GMT or a yellow gold Daytona, but instead commands admiration with its subtle textures, delicate color contrasts, and smooth, ergonomic proportions. It’s the perfect watch for someone who wants the prestige and versatility of a Rolex sports watch but with a touch of refinement and individuality.

The reference 268622 is the current Yachtmaster with the Rhodium Dial. Introduced since 2016.
