The Rolex Yacht-Master is a prestigious timepiece that embodies the spirit of sailing and luxury. Introduced in 1992, it quickly gained popularity among sailing enthusiasts and watch collectors alike. With its distinctive design and advanced features, the Yacht-Master has established itself as a must-have for those who appreciate both style and functionality. The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master has been equipped with a bidirectional rotatable bezel that facilitates the calculation and reading of navigational time. Elegantly combining functionality and nautical style, this watch has made its mark well beyond its professional realm. In 1958, the brand partnered the New York Yacht Club, creator of the legendary America’s Cup. Rolex then formed partnerships with several prestigious yacht clubs around the world and became associated with major nautical events – offshore races and coastal regattas. These strong ties culminated in 1992 with the launch of the Yacht-Master.

Founded in 1905 by Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex has grown to become the world’s leading luxury watch brand. As such, the Rolex name and the famed crown logo are synonymous with prestige, quality, and craftsmanship. Over the last century, Rolex has been a dominating force in watchmaking innovation. The brand patented the first waterproof watch case in 1926, aptly named the Oyster which remains as the foundation for almost all modern Rolex watches. In 1945, Rolex was the first to introduce a chronometer wristwatch with a date window on the dial. In the 1980s, Rolex became the first watch brand to use high-grade 904L Stainless steel for its watch cases, eventually rolling the metal out to cases and bracelets across all steel models. Since 2018, all steel Rolex watches are fashioned from Rolex’s own 904L alloy, known as ""Oystersteel.” Today, Rolex manufactures all of its mechanical movements in-house, using both cutting-edge machinery and traditional handmade techniques.
