Rolex 226658 Yacht-Master 42 18K Yellow Gold Black Dial

The Rolex 226658 Yacht-Master 42 stands as a striking evolution within the acclaimed Yacht-Master series, introduced in 2022 as an opulent expression of maritime-inspired luxury. Crafted from solid 18K yellow gold, this reference emerges as the first Yacht-Master to pair this precious metal with the model’s signature 42mm case and black Cerachrom bezel. The matte black dial is punctuated with luminous Chromalight markers and hands, delivering optimal legibility and authoritative sport-lux presence. At its heart is the advanced Rolex caliber 3235, featuring a proprietary Chronergy escapement, blue Parachrom hairspring, and delivering a robust 70-hour power reserve with Superlative Chronometer certification. Its pairing with the supple black Oysterflex bracelet fuses robust function with the comfort of an elastomer strap over flexible titanium and nickel blades. Water resistant to 100 meters, the 226658 provides both technical polish and visual impact, representing a rare, modern collector’s highlight. This reference affirms Rolex mastery in balancing innovation, tradition, and exclusivity in the contemporary luxury-sport category. Like New with Rolex box.
