About the Yacht-Master 42 226658
The Rolex Yacht-Master 42 226658 is a reference in the Rolex Yacht-Master collection. Rolex has made it since 2022. From our catalog: a 42 mm case in 18k yellow gold; bezel: Bidirectional rotating bezel with matte black Cerachrom insert and raised polished numerals; dial: Black (lacquered); movement: Calibre 3235. 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
The range for the 226658 rests on 19 sold results (every one of them an eBay sale), and the sales we list run from December 2023 to October 2026. No month was busier than December 2025, when 6 changed hands. Hammer results come from Bukowskis. The label is moderate confidence, which suits a reference with a fair, not deep, run of sales. No sale has arrived in the last 150 days, which slows how fast the figure can react. A volatility label needs more sales in the last 90 days than it has. A fair price for the 226658 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
Compared with the previous year, prices for the 226658 are 16.4% higher on the median. Its sales history in our records starts in November 2022, too recent for a long-run comparison yet.
Missing the box and papers costs about 12% on this reference, going by 12 bare-watch sales across its line. Paperwork varied: 20 complete, 0 bare, 3 incomplete, 1 described as never worn. Unworn full sets sell about 5% above worn ones across our data, so an unworn example sits above the headline. Listed sales ran from about 57% below the worth-about figure (May 4, 2026, on eBay, set not stated) to about 27% above the worth-about figure (December 23, 2025, on eBay, full set), which is the spread a seller should expect.
