Rolex Yacht-Master Ref. 16622 is a distinctive luxury sports watch that combines the robustness of Rolex's Professional collection with a more refined, nautical-inspired aesthetic. Introduced in 1999, the Ref. 16622 brought Rolex's signature Rolesium combination of Oystersteel and platinum to the Yacht-Master collection, pairing a 40mm stainless steel case with a solid 950 platinum bidirectional rotating bezel.
