Pre-Owned Rolex Yacht-Master Watches

Rumoured to be a replacement for the Submariner that was considered too dramatic a change right at the last minute, the Yacht-Master was designed to be a more elegant imagining of the classic diver's watch. The sculpted cases and sparkling dials are the perfect combination for a summer trip to the Mediterranean.

Rolex Yacht-Master Watches

Since its introduction in 1992, the Rolex Yacht-Master series has become one of the most iconic collections within the luxury sports watch genre. Its blend of timeless design and rich history has elevated the Yacht-Master series to a symbol of sophistication and elegance.

The name Yacht-Master was actually first used on a Rolex watch in the 1960s but this was confined to several prototype chronograph models that closely resembled a Daytona. The name was abandoned, only to resurface decades later on a completely different watch.

Since its release, the Rolex Yacht-Master has undergone several evolutions, each showcasing Rolex's unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence. From the early models adorned with 18k yellow gold and platinum to the latest advancements in materials and technology, the Rolex Yacht-Master continues to redefine luxury watchmaking.

The Rolex Yacht-Master’s close association with the sea and yachting gives it a unique charm. Built to withstand the rigours of the ocean, the Yacht-Master, is the perfect companion for professional sailors and seafaring enthusiasts, offering them a reliable tool watch without compromising on style. Indeed, the watch was conceived as a more luxurious alternative to the trusty Submariner.

The Yacht-Master is a masterpiece that stands out with its unique features and exceptional craftsmanship. One such feature is its graduated bidirectional rotatable bezel, crafted from ceramic, platinum or gold. It enables the wearer to measure elapsed time with ease when navigating the world’s oceans. This not only ensures accurate timekeeping but also adds a touch of elegance to the watch.

Available in three case sizes—37, 40 and 42mm—and in various precious metals from18k yellow, white and Everose gold, to Everose Rolesor and Rolesium versions, the Yacht-Master is unique in the world of Rolex professional watches. An elegant watch with a sporty character, it was the first Rolex to be paired with a rubber Oysterflex bracelet in 2015.

In 2023, Rolex unveiled a new Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium. This marked the first time Rolex produced a Yacht-Master in this lightweight corrosion-resistant metal, making it a notable addition to the collection. It was even trialled on hugely successful British sailor and helmsman Sir Ben Ainslie before its release to ensure it was up to scratch.

The Rolex Yacht-Master, a symbol of luxury and sophistication, is a favourite among many celebrities. Hollywood actors Bruce Willis and Mark Wahlberg are among many high-profile personalities who have been spotted wearing one.

At Watchfinder, we offer an extensive range of pre-owned Rolex Yacht-Master models to suit every taste. Discover the perfect Rolex Yacht-Master that mirrors your unique style and personality in our selection today.

Yacht-Master

Staying on course, mapping invisible routes.

For those at sea, staying on course is a constant challenge. When dealing with the elements, nothing is certain and constant reaction is required to stay in the right direction. Since its launch in 1992, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master has been equipped with a bidirectional rotatable bezel that facilitates the calculation and reading of navigational time. Elegantly combining functionality and nautical style, this watch has made its mark well beyond its professional realm.

A shared quest for precision

Knowing where you are in space and time, setting a course and sticking to it are vital in navigation. Given its function, the watch is an essential tool for sailors to assess their position. Regarded as the most precise horological instruments in the world, marine chronometers have been certified by astronomical observatories since the 18th century. At the time, the ultimate authority for measuring chronometric precision was the Kew Observatory in Great Britain.

In 1914, the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdorf, had one of the brand’s watches tested by this very observatory, which certified it as a chronometer: a first in the watchmaking world for a wristwatch. Since then, renowned sailors, such as Sir Francis Chichester and Bernard Moitessier, have navigated the seas with Rolex wristwatches serving as onboard chronometers.

Matching the precision of marine chronometers was fundamental to Rolex’s watchmaking.

Designed for navigators

Sailing occupies a special place in the world of Rolex. In 1958, the brand partnered the New York Yacht Club, creator of the legendary America’s Cup. Rolex then formed partnerships with several prestigious yacht clubs around the world and became associated with major nautical events – offshore races and coastal regattas.

These strong ties culminated in 1992 with the launch of the Yacht-Master. Boasting the robustness and waterproofness of our Oyster case, this chronometer is fitted with a bidirectional bezel with raised 60-minute graduations to enable navigational time to be calculated and read.

Precious on land and at sea

Available in three diameters – 37, 40 and 42 mm – and in various precious versions – 18 ct yellow, white and Everose gold – as well as in Everose Rolesor and Rolesium versions, the Yacht-Master is unique in the world of Rolex professional watches. An elegant watch with a sporty character, it was the first to be paired with an Oysterflex bracelet in 2015.

In 2023, after testing under real-life conditions by acclaimed helmsman Sir Ben Ainslie, Rolex launched a new version of the Yacht-Master 42. It is made of RLX titanium, a high-performance material, at once light, robust and corrosion resistant.

A veritable ally at sea, the Yacht-Master also elegantly adorns the wrists of navigators once back on solid ground. With many different versions, it is a model that transcends its seafaring origins. It has become a watch for those who know how to change course without losing sight of the horizon, moving freely.
