Rolex Yacht-Master 40 RG
Code: 126655Product detailed description
The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 is a luxurious take on a sports watch inspired by the world of yachting and offshore racing. The Yacht-Master collection was first introduced in 1992 and, from the very beginning, has combined a nautical character with elegant design and precise watchmaking craftsmanship. Reference 126655, crafted in 18k Everose gold with a black bezel and Oysterflex bracelet, represents one of the most striking modern configurations in this collection.
The 18k Everose gold case measures 40 mm in diameter and is complemented by a bidirectional rotating bezel with a matte black Cerachrom ceramic insert. Its distinctive 60-minute scale, featuring raised polished numerals and markings, creates a striking contrast with the matte ceramic surface. The deep black dial is adorned with applied hour markers and hands in 18k rose gold with Chromalight luminescence, while the date at the 3 o’clock position is highlighted by the iconic Cyclops lens. The watch is fitted with a black Oysterflex bracelet, which combines a flexible metal core with highly durable elastomer to ensure exceptional wearing comfort. The bracelet is complemented by an 18k Everose gold Oysterlock folding safety clasp with the Glidelock system for fine-tuning the length. The Triplock screw-down crown and Oyster case construction ensure water resistance to 100 meters.
Inside, the watch is powered by the Rolex 3235 in-house automatic movement, equipped with the highly efficient Chronergy escapement, a blue paramagnetic Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers. The movement utilizes bidirectional automatic winding via the Perpetual rotor and offers a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The Superlative Chronometer certification guarantees a precision of −2/+2 seconds per day after casing, which meets Rolex’s strict standards.
The Rolex Yacht-Master 40, featuring a combination of Everose gold, a black ceramic bezel, and an Oysterflex bracelet, represents an exceptionally attractive blend of sporty character and luxurious craftsmanship. The contrast between the warm hue of rose gold and the matte black elements creates a distinctive look, while the modern Caliber 3235 and the practical Oysterflex bracelet ensure high comfort and reliability for everyday wear.
