About this reference
The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 reference 226658 was introduced at Watches and Wonders in 2022 and remains in current production. This reference marks the first time the 42mm Yacht-Master was rendered in 18k yellow gold, expanding the line beyond the initial white gold version. It features a bidirectional rotatable bezel with a matte black Cerachrom insert and raised numerals, paired with a black lacquer dial and the Oysterflex elastomer bracelet. The watch is powered by the caliber 3235 movement, which offers a 70-hour power reserve and a Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring. Collectors monitor this reference for its balance of precious metal weight and the durability of the Glidelock extension system. On the secondary market, prices typically range between $26,000 and $32,000 depending on condition and completeness. A notable production detail is the inclusion of the "Falcon’s Eye" stone dial variant available within the same 42mm yellow gold case architecture.
