Rolex Yacht-Master — $7,100 – $48,450

Sizing should anchor your search. The 29mm and 35mm references (68623, 169622) serve ladies' and mid-size buyers, while 40mm and 42mm cover the men's range. Metal drives value most: solid Everose (116655) and yellow gold (16628) command real premiums over Rolesium pieces. Our desk verifies metal composition and references directly, so the configuration you pay for is exactly the one that reaches your wrist.

Buying — or selling — a Rolex Yacht-Master

Start with size: 29mm and 35mm references (68623, 169622) are ladies' and mid-size; 40mm and 42mm cover the men's range. Metal composition is the dominant value driver — solid Everose (116655) and yellow gold (16628) references carry significant premiums over Rolesium (Oystersteel with platinum bezel) pieces. The discontinued 116655 — 40mm Everose on Oysterflex — remains highly sought and trades firmly above its original retail. The 226627 offers a compelling proposition in lightweight RLX titanium at the 42mm scale. Prioritize full set (box, papers, hang tags), unworn condition, and original bracelet or strap; aftermarket rubber swaps meaningfully reduce resale value.

Generations & references

Launched 1992 in 40mm yellow gold (16628); ladies' two-tone and Rolesium variants expanded the matrix through the 2000s. Oysterflex arrived circa 2015–2019 across gold references. Titanium joined the lineup in 2019 with the 42mm 226627.

References in stock: 169623, 16622, 116622, 116655, 226627, 16628, 169622, 68623, 116621.

Pricing

The $7,061–$31,625 range spans Rolesium ladies' references at entry to solid-gold and titanium 42mm pieces at the ceiling; metal composition dictates most of the spread. Current live range: $7,100 – $48,450. Prices shown are the full card price; bank-wire payment saves about 3.4%.

What your Rolex Yacht-Master is worth

Most people land on a page like this for one of two reasons: they want to buy a Rolex Yacht-Master, or they already own one and want to know the number. The prices above answer the first question — they are what the piece sells for once a specialist has cleared it.

For the second, send the reference and a few photographs. A specialist reads the case, dial, bracelet and papers and comes back inside one business day with a firm figure, taken as cash or as credit against something else. We cover fully insured shipping in both directions, so it costs nothing to find out and nothing to walk away.
