Median price per month or quarter. A point needs at least 3 records in its month or quarter; a gap in a line means too few records, and nothing is filled in. Forum prices are the price a seller listed on Reddit r/Watchexchange, RolexForums or WatchUSeek when the post was marked sold, not a confirmed sale price. Historical context only: these series do not feed the price shown above.

About the Yacht-Master 16628

The Rolex Yacht-Master 16628 is a reference in the Rolex Yacht-Master collection. From our catalog: a 40 mm case in 18k yellow gold; bezel: Bidirectional rotating yellow gold bezel with raised 60-minute scale; movement: Calibre 3135. The specifications below list every fact we have sourced for this reference; anything we could not source is marked as not known.

What the sales say

Counting only completed sales, 48 sit inside the window that sets the figure (46 eBay sales and 2 auction results), and the dated list covers November 2023 to October 2026. October 2025 saw the most activity, 5 sales in a single month. Hammer results come from Sotheby's and Monaco Legend Group. That record is deep enough for a high-confidence label, the level whose ranges held up best when we tested them on later sales. The newest sale is under two weeks old. A volatility label needs more sales in the last 90 days than it has. A fair price for the 16628 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. Because it changes hands rarely, a sale still counts for half after 180 days.

On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 19.7%, comparing 16 recent sales with 32 earlier ones. We hold sales for it back to August 2010; a long-run summary needs at least five years of record.

Missing the box and papers costs about 12% on this reference, going by 12 bare-watch sales across its line. The listed sales split 10 full sets to 0 watch-only and 9 partial, with 1 unworn; the rest gave no set details. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. The floor of the list (February 4, 2025, on eBay, set not stated) is about 63% below the worth-about figure, and its ceiling (October 18, 2025, at Monaco Legend Group, full set) is about 55% above the worth-about figure.

If you are weighing alternatives, the siblings priced nearest to it are Yacht-Master 37 268655 price, Yacht-Master 42 226627 price and Yacht-Master 116655 price.
