This article explores why this particular model, despite its luxurious materials, has remained under the radar for many collectors and why it deserves a closer look. 111forza's personal appreciation for his own 16622 sparks a discussion on its perceived value and unique appeal within the Rolex lineup.
The plat dial yachtmaster(16622) was never very popular and even these days can still be picked up at a reasonable price on the pre owned market. For me itβs very underrated and I love mine π
Key Points from the Discussion
- The Rolex Yacht-Master ref. 16622 offers exceptional value for money, often overlooked despite its platinum bezel and dial, which should inherently attract more collector passion.
- The 'Yacht' designation and its visual similarity to the Submariner, without being a true dive watch, might contribute to its niche appeal rather than mass popularity.
- The thickness of the bezel on the ref. 16622 is a specific detail that some collectors need to experience in person to fully appreciate, as photos may not convey its true wrist presence.
- Several collectors express regret over selling their Rolex Yacht-Master ref. 16622, indicating a growing appreciation for its unique characteristics over time.
- The consensus among some collectors is that the ref. 16622's 'under the radar' status in the Rolex market is unlikely to last, suggesting its value and recognition are poised to increase.
