Rolex Yacht-Master 116655

Yacht-Master 40mm Rose Gold on Strap

The Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ref. 116655 is a 40mm automatic wristwatch executed entirely in 18k Everose gold — Rolex's proprietary rose gold alloy — paired with the Oysterflex bracelet, marking the first use of a rubber strap on a Rolex watch at its 2015 introduction. The 116655 was a deliberate departure from the Yacht-Master's previous material conventions, combining a fully precious-metal case with a high-performance elastomer bracelet to create a sports-luxury watch without precedent in the Rolex catalogue. The black Cerachrom ceramic bezel insert — bidirectionally rotatable with a 60-minute graduated scale and Everose gold-coated raised numerals — provides the same material durability as the Submariner's ceramic bezel in the context of a luxury dress-sport watch. The 18k Everose gold crown is protected by crown guards integral to the case. The black dial features applied Everose gold hour markers in dot and dagger format, with a date aperture at 3 o'clock magnified by the Cyclops lens. Outer minute track divisions and gilt Mercedes hands with luminescent fill complete the dial. 'Yacht-Master' in red text on the dial and all-Everose gold hands and markers create a warm, unified colour palette against the black ground. The scratch-resistant sapphire crystal covers the dial. The black ceramic bezel provides dramatic contrast against the Everose gold case, reinforcing the watch's sports character while maintaining precious metal luxury. Caliber 3135 powers the Ref. 116655 — Rolex's long-proven automatic movement with 31 jewels, delivering approximately 48 hours of power reserve with COSC Superlative Chronometer certification to ±2 seconds per day. The Oysterflex bracelet consists of a black elastomer outer layer over a titanium-nickel alloy inner metal blade, providing structural memory and shape retention with the comfort of rubber. The 18k Everose gold Oysterlock folding clasp secures the bracelet and enables micro-adjustment. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres.
