“The stylish combination of rose gold and black, combined with the distinct and unmistakable looks of the Yacht-Master - this is a modern classic.”

In 1966-67, wearing his Rolex Oyster, Sir Francis Chichester became the first man to circumnavigate the globe single-handedly, becoming the inspiration for the Yacht-Master series and eventually this model 116555, a piece which blends iconic design with state-of-the-art materials. It features a 40mm case and matching clasp forged from Everose gold, a gorgeous elusive pink colour exclusive to Rolex and forged - in their own private foundry - from their secret blend of gold, copper and platinum, ensuring that its sheen never fades. The bezel is rose gold and bi-directional, with an insert in black Cerachrom, a technical matte black ceramic material that contrasts sharply with the gold case, in keeping with this model’s status as a refined, luxury sports watch. The deep black dial is highly-legible, with rose gold-applied luminescent hour markers, white date aperture and red Yacht-Master script. The watch is fitted with Rolex’s cutting-edge Oysterflex strap, containing a hidden superelastic metal blade for durability, flexibility and resistance. Where luxury meets technical perfection.
