Rolex Yacht-Master 40 'Slate Rhodium' (Ref. 126622) Current Model

An exceptional and highly elegant stainless steel and platinum automatic sports wristwatch, featuring a striking slate rhodium dial with vibrant turquoise accents. Presented in brand-new, unworn condition as a complete full set. 

Embodying the rich heritage that ties Rolex to the world of luxury sailing since the 1950s, the Yacht-Master Reference 126622 perfectly bridges the gap between rugged sports functionality and high-end nautical elegance. Crafted in Rolex's proprietary Rolesium—a prestigious combination of resilient Oystersteel and precious platinum—this timepiece delivers an undeniable presence on the wrist. At its mechanical core beats the state-of-the-art in-house Calibre 3235 automatic movement, featuring a high-efficiency Chronergy escapement, Paraflex shock absorbers, and a robust 70-hour power reserve officially certified as a Superlative Chronometer. 

This specific lot is distinguished by its mesmerizing slate rhodium dial with a sunray finish, which creates a captivating interplay of light. The understated monochromatic look is brilliantly elevated by a vibrant turquoise second hand and matching "Yacht-Master" script. The dial features applied 18K white gold hour markers filled with long-lasting Chromalight luminescent material that emits a powerful blue glow. Enclosed in a perfectly proportioned 40mm Oystersteel case, the watch is equipped with a bidirectional rotating bezel executed entirely in 950 sandblasted platinum, featuring polished raised numerals and graduations. Fitted to a robust three-piece link Oystersteel bracelet, it includes the secure folding Oysterlock safety clasp with the practical 5mm Easylink comfort extension system. 

A versatile and sophisticated statement piece for the modern collector, offering a masterful blend of maritime character and contemporary luxury. Offered at Maynard Auctions in pristine, unworn condition accompanied by its original box and papers.
