Lot Essay
The Rolex Yacht-Master 42, Ref. 226679TBR, belongs firmly to the latter category—an "off-catalogue" creation from 2021 that never appeared in any Rolex showcase and was never offered to the public. This was a watch reserved for Rolex's most valued clients.
The present example is 42mm case in 18k white gold is lavishly set with baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel, with the gem-setting continuing across the lugs—a level of factory diamond work that places this Yacht-Master firmly among Rolex's most exclusive output. The black dial provides stark, legible contrast, allowing the brilliance of the stones to command attention, while the Calibre 3235 delivers modern Rolex reliability with a generous 70-hour power reserve. Fitted on the Oysterflex bracelet and secured by an 18k white gold Oysterlock clasp, it is as wearable as it is extraordinary.
Highly sought after in the market and making a rare appearance at auction, the present watch presents the opportunity to obtain one of the contemporary Rolex classics without delay.
