Yacht-Master 42, 226658, Yellow Gold, 2022

Product Description

Introduced in 2022, the reference 226658 brought yellow gold to the 42mm Yacht-Master for the first time, pairing the precious metal case with Rolex’s black Oysterflex bracelet. The matte black Cerachrom bezel retains the collection’s bidirectional 60-minute scale, with polished raised numerals and graduations standing in relief against the ceramic surface. 

Oysterflex is built around flexible titanium and nickel alloy blades rather than being a conventional rubber strap, with the metal structure overmoulded in black elastomer. On the 226658 it is secured by a yellow gold Oysterlock clasp with Rolex Glidelock, allowing approximately 15mm of adjustment without tools.

This 226659 is a 2022 example presented in excellent condition, with light signs of wear and remains unpolished. Offered as a full set with 2022 dated warranty card, booklets, both tags, and original Rolex box. This model further benefits from Rolex's international warranty until 2027.
