The Rolex Yacht-Master is the perfect combination of casual elegance. It first came out in 1992 under the reference 16 628 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 16 622 Roselium (steel and platinum). Combining for the first time stainless steel (main case and bracelet) and platinum (bezel), this model has since been considered as the Yacht Master watch. The 16 622 was produced until 2012 when it was replaced by the 116 622, as exemplified by the present lot, and also saw the introduction of the Yacht Master II in 2007. Preserved in remarkable conditions, this watch has the charming combination of the light color of the steel and the blue color of the dial, with striking red accents of seconds hands and name on the dial. Moreover, this specific watch is definitely rare and precious since bears on the case back to the engraved official royal crest of Oman. Also known as Khanjar, this logo has nowadays become more appreciated and sought after by collectors due to the limited productions of these special specimens, given as gifts to dignitaries at events, government seminars. The watch comes with a full set of warranty, tag and original box with Khanjar logo.
