RolexYacht-MasterModel No: 16623-SLVIND-G17A

The Yacht-Master is one of those sports watches in the Rolex armoury that fly under the radar compared to the more popular Submariner or Daytona. Yet this reference 16623, introduced in 2005, is a timepiece that must not be left unnoticed.

Sized at 40mm, this unique watch with a distinctive Rolesor construction - stainless steel and yellow gold - is an ideal expression of Rolex's elegant craftsmanship. The case sits low on the wrist via an Oyster bracelet and carries a bidirectional rotating bezel as well as a screw-down crown flanked by steel guards. The contrasting white dial is restrained in appearance but quite legible. Arranged neatly on it are luminous markers and handset, a central seconds hand, and a date window at three o'clock. The automatic calibre 3135 has 48 hours of power reserve and is secured under the screw-down caseback that facilitates the timepiece's 100m water resistance potential.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
