Rolex 68628 Yacht-Master 18K Yellow Gold White Dial

The Rolex Yacht-Master reference 68628 stands as a celebrated midsize yachting companion executed in opulent 18K yellow gold. Introduced in the 1990s, this 35mm model occupies a unique space in the Rolex portfolio, offering a balanced profile and a more understated wrist presence compared to the full-size Yacht-Master, yet incorporating all the technical prowess expected of the line. Powered by the self-winding caliber 2135 movement, the 68628 is lauded for its robust precision and enduring reliability. The white dial with classic gold luminous markers is a study in legibility and maritime elegance, framed by the distinct bi-directional gold bezel. The 100-meter depth rating is amply sufficient for yachting and sophisticated aquatic pursuits. Collectors value the 68628 for its rare combination of precious metal case and midsize dimensions, ensuring it remains both a statement of taste and a practical everyday timepiece. Unlike contemporary Yacht-Master models, it originally shipped on a solid gold Oyster bracelet, but this example sees a contemporary upgrade with a rubber strap for modern comfort and sport-forward aesthetics. The 68628 is a testament to Rolex's ability to blend luxury, robustness, and versatility in a single, unmistakable reference. Excellent condition.
