Rolex Yacht-Master 16628 Description

The Rolex Yacht-Master 16628 is a 40mm luxury sports watch introduced in 1992 as the inaugural model of the Yacht-Master line. Crafted entirely from 18k yellow gold, it combines the robustness of Rolex’s professional watches with an elevated sense of luxury. The watch features a bidirectional rotating bezel with raised numerals, sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens over the date, and is powered by the Caliber 3135. Water-resistant to 100 meters, the 16628 was produced until about 2011 and remains a collector’s piece blending opulence and function.
