Rolex Yachtmaster 116655 Full Review

Behold the  new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster with the Rolex Oysterflex Bracelet: Rolex's 1st Rubber Strap

With the new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster, Rolex watchmakers held no punches and put in nearly every great idea they ever had into one amazing watch. The Rolex Yachtmaster has been around since the early '90s and came in an assortment of materials from gold and steel all the way up to platinum. They are known for being shiny and luxurious from one end to the next. So it comes as no surprise that the world was taken by a storm when they decided to use rubber to introduce the new Rolex Yachtmaster watch reference #116655 . Was it a step up or a step down for the series? PrestigeTime.com bloggers believe that pictures speak much louder than words.

The new men's Yachtmaster from Rolex is a 40mm 18k rose gold case watch with a black dial and accented in Rolex's very own Everose gold. Just like their proprietary 18kt rose gold alloy, Rolex will always prefer to create the status quo and not have to rise to meet it because of anyone else.

In the new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster, they held no punches and put in nearly every great idea they ever had into one amazing watch.

At the core lies their in-house Rolex movement, the automatic caliber 3135 which resonates at 28,800 vph containing 31 jewels and has a whopping 50-hour power reserve. Of course, it would not be complete without their "Cyclops" magnifier. The new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster is also known as the m116655-0001.

Rolex is also no stranger to trending luxury watches. They tend to be the first in doing and introducing many things. While rubber has been around for a long time and has been used on many watches over the years, both high-end luxury watches and everything else. Rubber had no place on a Rolex watch until now. Rolex waited this long to introduce this material into their products not because they were hesitant to be part of the trend, on the contrary, 

they wanted to revolutionize the rubber watch band before using it on their first-ever rubber strapped watch. Creating the best rubber bracelet was something Rolex obsessed about until its perfection. Enter the new Rolex  Oysterflex bracelet which we hope to see on more of their men's watches. A rubber-coated two-piece titanium bracelet with a patented cushioning system. The black elastomer coating is a similar substance to what you see on the Apple Watch. The bracelet has an Oysterlock clasp in solid 18k Everose gold which seals the deal. Rolex held nothing back in reinventing and over-engineering the perfect rubber bracelet that has the same elasticity as a metal bracelet without the initial cold feeling of a metal bracelet when first placed on a wrist. Now it's just a matter of time before a platinum Rolex comes with a rubber Oysterflex bracelet.

In 2015 Rolex introduces the Rolex Yachtmaster watch model #116655, the first Rolex watch with the all-new rubber Oysterflex band with an 18k rose gold clasp. After its creation, they saw all that they have made …and it was good.

Most recently this watch has been upgraded with a new movement and new reference number that we sell new, in its original box, with a warranty, and with free shipping to the United States. The new Rolex 126655 Yachtmaster 40mm is essentially the same watch with a few improvements. Specifically, the caliber inside has been replaced with the Rolex in-house caliber 3235, a Superlative Chronometer with exceptional precision, 31 watch jewels, Paraflex shock absorbers, and a substantially longer power reserve duration of approximately 70 hours.

Introducing The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 In White Gold (Live Pics & Pricing)

Matte black bezel. need i say more.

From a distance, you'd be forgiven for not even realizing that this watch is a new introduction to Rolex's collection. I mean, it looks so much like something that could have been in the catalog for decades, but it's actually as fresh as it gets. This is the first 42mm time-and-date Yacht-Master, offering a larger option for those who still find 40mm too conservative, and it comes with a sleek combination of a black dial and an unbelievable bezel made of white gold with a matte black Cerachrom insert. The markings on that insert are raised and polished and the result is totally stunning. Inside is the caliber 3235, which is Rolex's most state-of-the-art, time-and-date movement. It uses the Chronergy high-efficiency escapement and is regulated to a crazy +2/-2 seconds per day. If you liked the Everose gold Yacht-Master introduced back in 2015 but wanted something bigger and sleeker (and somehow even more reliable), your prayers have been answered.

The Yacht-Master line can be a bit confusing, even for people who know their Rolex references backwards and forwards. First off, like with the Explorer, there's a standard Yacht-Master (which is what you're looking at here) and a Yacht-Master II (which is 44mm and has a regatta timer complication). As far as the simpler time-and-date models go, there are now three sizes: 37mm, 40mm, and 42mm. There are a mix of metal configurations, including steel and platinum, steel and Everose gold, all Everose gold, and now all white gold. And don't even get me started on the various incarnations of the Oyster bracelet and Oysterflex bracelet that you can choose from.

For me, the new Yacht-Master 42, despite adding a bunch of new options to the mix, is the purest expression of the model yet. The white gold case is luxe and hefty while still giving off the appearance of being a hearty tool watch, the matte black bezel is straight-up mean looking, and the Oysterflex bracelet is practical and casual. This is a watch for someone who wants to look low-key but likes things just so. And I can squarely get behind that.

LeBron James Sat Courtside in a Preposterously Rare Royal Oak

By Oren Hartov

The Lakers might’ve had a disappointing end to their postseason, but that hasn’t stopped LeBron James from finding big moments to strap on some of the best and rarest watches in the world.

During Game 4 of the Celtics-Cavs’ series, Bron was spotted courtside decked out in a prodigious amount of gold, the pièce de résistance of which was a supremely special version of Gérald Genta’s famed Royal Oak luxury sports watch. Carrying reference number 26521OR, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 41 Tourbillon Extra Thin is the RO you buy after you’ve exhausted all the more typical fare that most mortals still can’t buy—even if they can afford it. Housed in a 41mm 18K rose gold case, its bezel is set with 32 baguette-cut blue sapphires; its dial, meanwhile, ditches the classic Grand Tapisserie pattern found on many Royal Oaks in favor of a mesmerizing Tapisserie Evolutive pattern with baguette-cut ruby hour indices and rose gold hands.

Featuring a tourbillon set above 6 o’clock, the watch is powered by AP’s automatic Calibre 2924 movement with 69 hours of power reserve and 216 components. Beautifully decorated, it measures just 4.5mm tall, making for a total watch case height of only 9mm—and this despite the automatic winding rotor and tourbillon complication. Paired to an integrated rose gold bracelet with an AP-signed folding clasp, the 26521OR isn’t the type of timepiece you can stroll into a boutique and walk out with—even if you have the several hundred thousand dollars needed to secure one.

King James, of course, is no stranger to Audemars Piguet : Previously a brand ambassador, he’s even worked with the maison on a limited-edition model, and he’s worn plenty of notable watches during press conferences and courtside—this diamond-studded Offshore , for example; or this openworked Offshore ; or this yellow-gold Royal Oak . (If we look beyond AP, the array of wild pieces is even more striking: a Richard Mille RM 11-03 ; a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 126509 ; a flashy Yacht-Master with an iced-out dial .) Heck, one could conceivably found a museum of high-end horological hits and special-edition watches based solely on the man’s collection.

But back to the Royal Oak for a moment. It’s certainly come a long way since its 1972 debut following a conversation between famed watch designer Gérald Genta and AP’s then-managing director George Golay, who told him that a distribution company required a sports watch that “had never been seen before.” Though it took some time for the public to come to terms with its price tag—it cost CHF 3,300 at launch—the Royal Oak has since become a bona fide icon, inspiring legions of copycats but few (if any) equals. Certainly, it speaks to the enduring quality of Genta’s original design that even when stuffed with rubies and equipped with a tourbillon, one glance at James’s watch will tell you, “Yup—that’s a Royal Oak. That’s one of the coolest watches in the world.”

Chris Hemsworth’s Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 Frozen

At a photocall for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga , Chris Hemsworth donned a watch we’ve seen making the rounds recently: the Chopard Alpine Eagle 41 in its ‘Frozen’ guise (meaning it’s positively dripping in diamonds). Unlike Usher’s version , this one features a bezel set with blue sapphires. It’s still, however, housed in white gold and powered by Chopard’s automatic, ultra-thin L.U.C 96.41-L movement with micro-rotor and a 65-hour power reserve. And it’s officially our new favorite watch to pair with a white dinner jacket.

James Marsden’s Santos de Cartier

Once a brand ambassador for IWC , for many years James Marsden was only spotted in Schaffhausen-approved designs. These days, however, the Jury Duty star has taken a liking to the solid-gold Santos de Cartier , a watch inspired by the Parisian maison’s partnership with Brazilian aviator Alberto-Santos Dumont at the turn of the 20th century. The watch, which Marsden wore to the Disney 2024 Upfront Presentation, is the brand’s medium-sized model, meaning it’s outfitted with the automatic-winding Caliber 1847 MC movement and comes paired to a matching 18K yellow gold bracelet with “SmartLink” adjustment system. Measuring 35mm, it’s even water resistant to 100—should you decide to take a dip in $32,200 worth of horology.

Michael Jordan’s Greubel Forsey GMT SPORT Tourbillon Titanium 45mm Limited Edition

Just a few weeks after stepping out in a $2 million stunner , Michael Jordan unveiled yet another grail-level timepiece in his collection. At an event for his Cincoro tequila label, MJ wore the Greubel Forsey GMT SPORT Tourbillon Titanium 45mm Limited Edition , a wildly complicated piece from two of the masters of haute horlogerie . Featuring an integrated bracelet like the Royal Oak or Nautilus , it boasts an inclined tourbillon; a GMT hand with day/night indicator and a resolving world timer glove; and a power reserve indicator. The price for such a contraption? A cool $600,000. The clout you’d gain by rocking one while sipping your very own tequila? Priceless .

Steve Carrell’s Omega Speedmaster ‘Snoopy’

Carrell is a noted collector with an affinity for tool watches like the Rolex Submariner, Rolex Daytona, and the Omega Speedmaster —stuff no self-respecting watch guy can argue with. But that doesn’t mean The Office star takes this whole tool watch thing too seriously: This week, he was spotted at the premiere of IF wearing the Speedmaster Moonwatch Anniversary Series Silver Snoopy Award , a piece with everyone’s favorite beagle in its running seconds counter. The Award, long given to NASA employees and contractors for special achievements in mission success or safety, has led to a growing collection of special watches .
