About The Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 16622:

The model pairs a stainless steel Oyster case and bracelet with a platinum bidirectional rotatable graduated bezel, creating a more refined nautical sport watch within the Rolex lineup.

Introduced as part of the Yacht-Master family, the 16622 became known for its combination of sport-watch utility and dressier finishing. The polished case profile, Oyster bracelet, platinum bezel, and caliber 3135 automatic movement give the reference a distinct position between Rolex’s professional sports models and more luxurious dress-sport watches.

This 2004-era example adds a more jewelry-forward look through its aftermarket white iridescent ruby and diamond-set dial. Combined with the platinum bezel, red seconds hand, stainless steel Oyster bracelet, original boxes, and F-serial configuration, this Yacht-Master offers a distinctive take on one of Rolex’s most recognizable nautical sport references.
