Yacht-Master

The Rolex Yacht-Master II, reference 116689, is the white gold flagship of Rolex's regatta collection, a bold 44mm statement piece built around one of the most ingenious complications the brand has ever produced, a programmable countdown designed for the starting line of a sailing race. This certified pre-owned example is offered in very good condition and comes with its full original set, including inner and outer box, warranty card, booklets, card holder, and tag.

Crafted in 18k white gold, the 116689 features a commanding 44mm Oyster case topped with the blue Cerachrom bezel of Rolex's Ring Command system, which links bezel, crown, and movement to set the countdown with remarkable ease. The reassuring weight of precious metal on the wrist leaves no doubt that this is a certified luxury watch built to be noticed, on deck or ashore.

The white dial is crisp, bright, and full of sporty energy, with luminescent hour markers and hands delivering excellent legibility, while the countdown scale and its dedicated hand bring a distinctly nautical character. Clean, technical, and impossible to mistake for anything else.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 4161, a self-winding in-house movement driving the regatta countdown, programmable from 1 to 10 minutes with a mechanical memory, alongside a power reserve of approximately 72 hours. Serious engineering, made for the sound of the starting gun.

The watch is fitted with the Oyster bracelet in 18k white gold, secured by a folding safety clasp, offering a luxurious and confident fit that matches the presence of the case.

Available now at Minty Watches, this certified pre-owned luxury watch is a rare opportunity for collectors of pre-owned luxury timepieces in Geneva.

A pre-owned watch in Geneva that turns every start line into a stage.
