The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 reference 226659 debuted in 2019, distinguishing itself as the first Yacht-Master to feature a 42mm case and crafted exclusively in 18k white gold. This striking piece stands out with a matte black Cerachrom bezel and matching black dial, elegantly complemented by the sophisticated Oysterflex bracelet—Rolex's innovative high-performance elastomer strap with an internal titanium blade.
