Size and metal
Yacht-Master references in our catalog range from 29 mm to 42 mm, in steel, steel and gold, gold and titanium. Sort the table by size, then compare the metals within one size; the reference number changes with each.
Bezels and bracelets
Several Yacht-Master references pair a steel case with a bezel in another metal, and some come on an Oysterflex bracelet rather than a metal one. Each reference page records the case and bezel our catalog has; check them against the watch you are offered.
Before you buy
- Match the reference and serial on the papers to the watch.
- Confirm the bezel and the bracelet against the reference page.
- Compare the asking price with the individual sold prices on the reference page.
- The Yacht-Master II has its own page.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a Rolex Yacht-Master?
We publish a pre-owned range for 23 of the 28 Yacht-Master references here. Their midpoints run from $5,400 for the Yacht-Master 169622 to $31,100 for the Yacht-Master 42 226658. Each reference page shows its own range and the sales behind it.
What sizes is the Yacht-Master?
The references in our catalog run from 29 mm to 42 mm. Sort the table by size to compare them; the smallest also appear on our women's Rolex page.
Is the Yacht-Master II the same watch?
No. The Yacht-Master II is a separate collection with its own page and references. This page lists Yacht-Master references only.
Why do some Yacht-Master references show no price?
We only publish a pre-owned range when enough recent, sourced sale results back it. A reference without one shows how many sold prices are on file so far, and its range appears once there are enough.
How do I sell a Rolex Yacht-Master?
Find the reference number on the papers, note the case metal and the bracelet, gather the box and any service records, and compare more than one offer. Our sell form takes four short steps, and we review every request.
Where to buy
- Dealers. Choose one that offers a return period and puts the reference, serial and condition in writing.
- Auction houses. Results are public after the sale, and a buyer's premium is added to the hammer price.
- Private sellers. Meet somewhere safe, check the papers against the watch, and pay in a traceable way.
Wherever you buy, have a watchmaker confirm the movement and serial before any return period ends. Each reference page above shows the recent sold prices we have on file, so you can compare an asking price with what the same reference has sold for.
