Rolesium
Rolesium is Rolex's distinctive combination of platinum and Oystersteel, bringing together the durability of stainless steel with the refined finish of platinum. On the Yacht-Master 168622, the stainless-steel case and bracelet are paired with a platinum bezel and platinum dial, creating the model's characteristic monochromatic appearance. Rolex continues to use the term Rolesium for its combination of platinum and steel.
The Rolex Yacht-Master
Introduced in 1992, the Yacht-Master was created as Rolex's luxury nautical sports watch, combining maritime functionality with a more refined aesthetic. One of its defining features is the bidirectional rotating bezel with raised 60-minute graduations, designed to allow the wearer to measure elapsed time while sailing.
At 35mm, reference 168622 offers the classic Yacht-Master design in a versatile mid-size case. Its combination of a platinum bezel and dial, Oyster bracelet and flashes of red across the dial gives this generation of Yacht-Master a particularly distinctive appearance.
