Why This Watch Stands Out
The Rolex Yacht-Master 16623 is a versatile luxury sports watch that stands at the crossroads of elegance and utility. Unlike the Submariner, its bi-directional gold bezel is designed for sailing and regatta timing, reflecting its nautical heritage.
The white dial with luminous markers ensures legibility while giving the watch a refined, clean look. The two-tone combination of Oystersteel and 18k gold provides both durability and prestige, making it equally at home on the deck of a yacht or at a formal event.
Inside, the Caliber 3135 movement guarantees Rolex’s legendary precision and reliability, while the Oyster bracelet adds comfort and a secure fit.
