Up for sale is a Rolex Yacht-Master 16622, an underrated gem in the Rolex lineup. This model features the highly desirable pre-2007 dial, which has a coarser platinum grain and a richer color tone—widely considered more vibrant and visually striking than later versions. The watch pairs luxury with sportiness, thanks to its platinum sandblasted bezel, polished case, and signature red seconds hand.
For an in-depth look at why the 16622 is one of the most unique and undervalued Rolex sports models, check out this Fratello Watches article:
Rolex Yacht-Master 16622 Review
Notably, the current version of this watch sells for $13,000, with the only major difference being the clasp—and, in my opinion, a worse dial. This makes the 16622 an incredible value for those who appreciate its unique styling and heritage.
