Rolex Yacht-Master II 226659 Black Dial Aug 2023

The Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 226659 is a sophisticated regatta chronograph crafted entirely from 18k white gold, representing the pinnacle of Rolex's sailing-inspired complications. This 44mm case combines the robustness required for competitive yachting with the luxury expected from a precious metal timepiece, making it one of the most technically advanced models in Rolex's current lineup.

This reference showcases a deep black dial that provides excellent contrast against the white gold case, featuring applied luminous hour markers and the distinctive regatta countdown display. The dial's clean layout incorporates the programmable countdown timer with red accents, allowing sailors to precisely time the critical pre-start sequence of yacht races. The signature triangular 10-minute marker and bidirectional rotating bezel with blue Cerachrom insert complete the nautical-inspired aesthetic.

At its heart beats the Rolex caliber 4161, a sophisticated automatic chronograph movement developed specifically for the Yacht-Master II. This Superlative Chronometer-certified caliber features the innovative regatta function and flyback chronograph capability, delivering exceptional precision and reliability for marine timekeeping applications.

Fitted with a sporty black rubber Oysterflex bracelet, this Yacht-Master II offers exceptional comfort and durability while maintaining an elegant appearance suitable for both nautical adventures and formal occasions. Presented in excellent condition with August 2023 papers, the 226659 represents a highly collectible white gold sports watch that combines technical innovation with precious metal luxury.
