Rolex "Oyster Perpetual Date Yacht-Master Superlative Chronometer officially certified", Case No. W376079, Ref. 69628, 29 mm, circa 1995
A lady's elegant automatic wristwatch with centre seconds, date and red "Yacht-Master" writing on dial - with original box, operating instructions, Rolex original revision document from 2004 and accessories
Case: 18k gold, screw back, screwed "Twinlock" winding crown, 18k gold "Oysterlock" bracelet ref. 78738/14. Dial: white, indexes mounted in gold, Mercedes hands. Movm.: rotorwind movement, Glucydur screw balance.
In 1992 Rolex introduced a new member of the Oyster Perpetual family: the Rolex Yacht-Master.
While the Rolex Submariner was developed as a diver’s watch for underwater use, the Rolex Yacht-Master was a regatta chronograph. It has a bezel that rotates both ways and thus allows for accurate timing of events during the regatta. The etched 18K yellow gold bezel with its 60 minute division is striking because it so effortlessly combines sheer elegance with superior functionality.
