Setting a high bar for robust, aesthetically pleasing and technically sound utility watches, Rolex had yet again beat themselves in their own game with the unveiling of the 2019 Yacht-Master in all-black livery. Boasting a suave legible dial with a matching Cerachrom bi-directional 60-minute bezel, this is a sailing watch that does not just look great on land, but is an incredibly sturdy and reliable professional tool, encased in 18K white gold. Fitted with a new generation in-house cal. 3235, this automatic movement is at the forefront of watchmaking in terms of precision, power reserve and resilience to impact. The synergy between high energy efficiency and reliability is achieved by the innovative incorporation of the freshly patented “Chronergy” escapement made of nickel-phosphorus, which also repels magnetic interferences. This is a handsome sports watch with a muscular 42mm profile that wears comfortably on the wrist, thanks to the longitudinal cushion system which sits on the inside of the Oysterflex strap. Offered at Phillips for the first time, the present ref. 226659 is in excellent overall condition and is accompanied by its original accessories. Merging form and function, this Yacht-Master is certainly a fantastic piece for the style-conscious with a dash of sportiness and is a modern heirloom that will hold its value over time.
