Rolex Yacht-Master in Yellow Gold: Even more " Un-Rolex " than any other Yacht-Master.
Or let's say than the Yacht-Master in steel / platinum ref 16622.
As you certainly know, the Yacht-Master was introduced in the catalogue in 1992. In yellwo gold, first, then several years after, in 1997 or 1999, in steel and platinum.
Here is a yellow gold specimen I could see in Paris some months ago.
The particularity goes way over the fact that it is a yellow gold sports watch. It is the dial, associated to the case, which makes it look so special and should I add, so cool.
The Black indices and the milky white dial are the details you notice immediately.
But if you have a closer look, you will see the luminous indices, made of tritium, triangle shaped, stuck to the round black dots.
I couldn't take a lume shot, but it would certainly be interesting to see how they glow in the dark!
Here are the pictures, now.
What do you think?
Best,
Nicolas

The dial is a bit plain for the bombast of that watch, yet the black indices look really nice.
I personally think its interesting, i would not buy it though. Thanks for showing that unusual piece and giving some background!
Wrong
Somehow everything seems wrong on that watch. The color gold, the bezel, the dial. All individual they look great. But combined it’s just wrong. Don’t know how to explain it better
Elegant
I think this watch is rather elegant when compared to the submariner. Whether in steel or gold i feel Gg at the yachmaster one has a very timeless and unique bezel that has indexes that provide a sheen that goes alone with the polished bracellete. Creatin...
Best looking Yacht Master
That is a maritime YG watch! Has Lots of character and looks very classic. I think it is pretty, pretty cool 😎
This one is polarising to say the least
I really like it but would not buy it today. Maybe a gift to myself when I turn 50, to wear when I go fishing in the Florida Keys with wife no. 2 ;-)
I like it very very much!
It might look even cooler with a dark brown rugged croco strap...
Almost perfect
Just needs the mother of pearl dial and the ruby hour markers, tank top, RayBans, sandals and were good 2 go.
