Rolex Yacht-Master 42mm white gold

Rolex is extending its Yacht-Master range with a new 42mm model, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42. Yacht-Master sailing watches are recognizable thanks to their distinctive bidirectional rotatable bezel with a raised 60-minute graduation. The Yacht-Master 42 is fitted with a Cerachrom insert in matt-black ceramic that perfectly complements its black lacquer dial. Created from 18 ct white gold this new watch heralds the arrival of this precious metal on a Yacht-Master model. The light reflections on the case sides and lugs highlight the profile of the Oyster case. Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 42 offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display. The broad hands and hour makers are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow. This new model is equipped with a calibre 3235-at the forefront of watchmaking technology- a first for the Yacht-Master range. Like all Rolex watches, the Yacht-Master 42 carries the Superlative Chronometer certification, which ensures excellent performance on the wrist.
