This certified pre-owned example from 2003 is offered in exceptional unpolished condition, having been owned by a single careful owner since new, preserving every original surface and finishing detail in a state of originality that is extraordinarily rare for a watch of this age. Crafted in Oystersteel with a bidirectional rotating bezel in solid 950 platinum, the 16622 presents the Yacht-Master in a beautifully proportioned 40mm case where every alternating brushed and polished surface remains completely intact, sharp edges uncorroded by any polishing wheel, and the overall presentation of a watch that has been worn with care and never refinished. For collectors who understand the value of unpolished originality, this single-owner example represents a standard of preservation that is simply not found every day. The platinum dial is as luxurious as it is understated, with large Maxi hour markers and hands delivering outstanding legibility in any light, framed by the warm, silvery depth that only solid 950 platinum can produce. A date display at 3 o'clock, magnified by Rolex's iconic Cyclops lens, completes a dial that has only improved with age. Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3135, a certified automatic chronometer featuring a Parachrom hairspring for outstanding precision and a 48-hour power reserve. Water resistant to 100 metres and as dependable today as the day it left Geneva. The watch is fitted with the original Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock safety clasp, retaining its full factory finishing throughout. Available now at Minty Watches, this certified pre-owned luxury watch is a singular opportunity for collectors of pre-owned luxury timepieces in Geneva seeking a first-owner, unpolished Rolesium Yacht-Master in original condition. A pre-owned watch in Geneva where platinum and steel have aged together, perfectly and untouched.
