Nicknamed the “Rolesium” for its exclusive combination of Oystersteel and solid 950 platinum, it stands apart from traditional Rolex sports models. Produced with the sought-after dark rhodium dial, this reference offers a refined balance of versatility, heritage, and understated presence.
Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. Brushed Oystersteel surfaces remain sharp with crisp transitions between the highly polished case sides and satin-finished lugs. Dark rhodium sunburst dial displays rich tonal changes under different lighting, accented by blue details and Chromalight hour markers. Platinum bidirectional bezel retains strong definition across the raised numerals and sits beneath a clean sapphire crystal with Cyclops magnification.
Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and bidirectional timing bezel. Unscrewing the Twinlock crown allows manual winding in the first position, while the second position independently adjusts the date display. Pulling the crown fully outward engages the time-setting function with hacking seconds for precise synchronization. Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3135 automatic movement with approximately 48 hours of power reserve, the rotating bezel can be used to track elapsed time or reference an additional time zone.
Comes as full set, doubled box with warranty card, warranty card holder, Yacht-Master booklet, and green hangtag.
Blending understated sport styling with one of the most recognizable silhouettes in modern horology, the Yacht-Master delivers a presence that feels refined without trying too hard. Its discontinued status and dark rhodium dial configuration give it a distinct character that stands apart from more commonly seen Rolex sports models.
