Rolex Yacht-Master 40mm Yellow Gold Stainless Steel 2005 for Sale

Rolex Yacht-Master 40mm Yellow Gold Stainless Steel 2005, available to buy now. The Yacht-Master pairs a rotating bidirectional bezel with precious-metal construction, a regatta watch rather than a dive watch.

The case measures 40mm in yellow gold stainless steel, on a stainless steel case number d0*****, stainless steel, yellow gold bracelet. The movement is automatic, wound by the motion of the wrist.

A date display is set into the dial. Production dates to 2005. The Yacht Master first came out in 1992 under the reference 16628 and was made in yellow gold. It was conceived as the deluxe version of the Submariner. A few years later, in 1999, Rolex introduced the Yacht Master 16622 the Roselium (steel and platinum), as exemplified by the present lot. Combining for the first time stainless steel (main case and bracelet) and platinum (bezel and dial), this model has since been considered as The Yacht Master watch. Rolex does not publish production figures, does not discount, and allocates its steel sport models years behind demand. That structure is most of why the secondary market prices the way it does.

Buying this Rolex Yacht-Master 16623 40mm

Above all, we hold one Rolex Yacht-Master 16623 40mm rather than a restockable line. Therefore the watch in the gallery is the watch that ships to you. For example, we photograph the caseback and the clasp, not only the dial. Meanwhile, you can weigh it against Rolex Datejust ‘Anniversary’ Dial 31mm, or against Rolex Cosmograph Daytona 40mm Yellow Gold Circa 2001. Similarly, the rest of our Rolex watches and the wider watch collection move every week.

How we authenticate and grade it

We authenticate every watch in house before listing it, so the grade above is ours rather than a consignor’s summary. However, condition language shifts from seller to seller, so we describe wear in plain words as well. Because sunlight fades a dial faster than wear does, store it out of direct light. In addition, how we authenticate sets out the process.

Shipping and import charges

We ship worldwide and insure every parcel, at no cost to you. However, import charges depend on where you live, so budget for them early. In short, the landed cost matters as much as the ticket price, and we set out the arithmetic in VAT, duty and the true landed cost. Meanwhile our Instagram shows what has just landed, and Facebook carries the same arrivals.
