Sold Rolex platinum & stainless Yachtmaster 16622 (men’s 40mm)

Listing a few watches I’ve either got multiples of (dials/variants) or that I don’t wear anymore.

First up is this 2001 Rolex platinum/stainless Yachtmaster 16622 men’s size 40mm. The watch is original and unpolished from new. It includes the inner/outer boxes and tags. The watch shows light hairline marks, primarily on the polished center links of the bracelet. It keeps time well and has been regularly serviced by a Rolex AD. I’d rate it at 92% condition, and I’m asking $7,500.

A bit of info on the Yacht-Master 16622. In 1999, Rolex introduced a brand new version of the Yacht-Master in a metal combination the brand calls Rolesium. While Rolesor is Rolex’s term for combining gold and steel on a watch, Rolesium is the brand’s name for using platinum and steel together on a watch. The Yacht-Master was the first (and remains the only) Rolex Rolesium model.

On top of the Rolesium Yacht-Master ref. 16622‘s 40mm steel case is a platinum bezel with high polished raised numerals on a sandblasted background. What’s more, the platinum dial also features a sandblasted finish, along with pops of red on the seconds hand and the YACHT-MASTER label. The Oyster bracelet is fashioned from stainless steel but also combines a mix of finishes with high-polished center links flanked by brushed center links. Therefore, while the Rolesium Yacht-Master ref. 16622 is monochromatic due to its use of white metals, there is plenty of textural interest thanks to the range of surface finishes.
