The Rolex Yacht-Master 169622 is a refined and highly collectible Rolex sports model, blending nautical heritage with elegant design. Crafted in Rolesium—Rolex’s signature combination of stainless steel and platinum—this Yacht-Master offers a more sophisticated alternative to traditional tool watches, making it equally suited to casual wear and formal occasions.
This example is presented with box and undated papers but serial reflects a manufacture date of 1998, adding to its desirability for collectors. Compact, luxurious, and versatile, the 29mm Yacht-Master remains one of the most elegant sports watches Rolex has produced.

Dial & Design Notes
The sunburst platinum dial reflects light beautifully, giving the watch a soft, elegant glow. Applied hour markers with luminous fill and classic Mercedes-style hands ensure excellent legibility, while the platinum bezel develops a subtle patina over time—adding character and vintage charm that ceramic bezels simply cannot replicate.
Our View
Unlike many Rolex sports models, the Yacht-Master leans toward a more luxurious, dress-oriented aesthetic while retaining everyday usability. The platinum bezel, compact proportions, and refined dial make this reference a favourite among collectors who appreciate understated elegance over overt tool-watch styling. A superb balance of sportiness and sophistication.
