Yacht-Master II Yellow Gold
Model #116688 Box:Yes Paper:No Year:2009The Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 stands as the Crown's most complex and expensive sports watch, featuring the revolutionary regatta chronograph complication that represents one of Rolex's greatest technical achievements. This spectacular 44mm yellow gold timepiece showcases Rolex's mastery of complications through its programmable countdown timer specifically designed for yacht racing start sequences. The white dial with gold hands maintains perfect legibility despite the watch's mechanical complexity, while the blue numerals add sporting character to this luxurious execution.
Inside beats caliber 4161, an entirely new movement developed specifically for the Yacht-Master II's regatta function, requiring four years of development and representing one of Rolex's most sophisticated mechanisms.

Our team was impressed by this example's mint condition, complete with green serial tag indicating proper service history and authentication. Water resistance to 100 meters ensures this complication can handle marine environments, while the solid gold construction provides substantial 205-gram weight.
