Rolex Yacht-Master 42 White Gold Oysterflex 226659 – 2022

Rolex Yacht-Master 42 White Gold Oysterflex 226659

Originally looking like a slightly more luxurious Submariner with a platinum bezel, the Yacht-Master line has steadily evolved over the course of the last few decades, and now stands alone in both it’s aesthetics and what it offers to owners. In doing so, it has become one of our favourite Rolex’s in the current lineup.

This particular version is the white gold on Oysteflex. The case measures in at 42mm in white gold, with a 50.3mm lug-to-lug and it’s only 11.7mm thick. You’ll also note the lugs are tapered, and reminiscent of the sleekness of a 5 Digit Rolex, rather than the broad and chunky lugs of a current Sub or Explorer. It’s topped with a white gold bezel with Cerachrom inlay, with markers done in relief which looks amazing. Finishing it off is the super-comfy Oysterflex bracelet with a white gold clasp with Glidelock system.

Sold new locally in mid-2022, this particular one-owner piece presents in TZ ‘Good condition. The case is unpolished, and shows rub marks and light scratches consistent with regular wear. The reason got the ‘Good’ rather than ‘Excellent’ grading is due to a few small nicks on the sides of the case. Please see images for full condition details.

It’s mounted to the factory Rolex Oysterflex rubber with an E sizing for both sides, which will fit roughly a 7.4in wrist at full extension on the Glidelock clasp. Clasp shows rub marks and scratches from desk diving.

All operations functioning as they should, and remains under factory warranty until 2027.

Comes with outer sleeve, outer box, inner box, instruction booklet, guarantee booklet, warranty card dated Q3 2022, card holder, green hang tag and Watch Vault cleaning cloth.

Great example of one of Rolex’s coolest current pieces.
