Pre-Owned Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Ref 16622 (2001 – 2002). The defining feature of the ref. 16622 is its use of platinum. Rolex paired a stainless steel Oyster case and bracelet with a solid platinum bezel and matching platinum dial, creating what collectors often refer to as a “Rolesium” finish. The platinum dial is particularly striking, with a subtle finish that plays beautifully with the light. It’s understated compared to colorful modern sports watches, yet instantly recognizable to those who know Rolex well. Introduced in the late 1990s, the Yacht-Master 16622 helped establish the collection’s identity and remains one of its most iconic iterations today. The raised polished numerals on the platinum bezel, red seconds hand, and red Yacht-Master text provide just enough contrast to keep the monochromatic design interesting without detracting from its elegant character.
