About the Yacht-Master II 116688
The Rolex Yacht-Master II 116688 is a reference in the Rolex Yacht-Master II collection. It is discontinued. From our catalog: a 44 mm case in 18k yellow gold; bezel: Ring Command bezel with blue Cerachrom insert (regatta countdown); dial: White. 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
We count 35 transactions toward its estimate, 30 eBay sales and 5 auction results; the earliest entry shown is from November 2023, the latest from September 2026. No month was busier than July 2024, when 6 changed hands. Auction results here come from Grailzee, Phillips and Sotheby's. Few references earn our top rating; this one does, thanks to a dense and consistent stream of results. The last recorded result is 31 days old, recent enough to anchor the figure. Prices have been steady: a spread of about 9% earns the Stable label. A fair price for the 116688 can sit anywhere from about 25% below to 25% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
On a like-for-like annual view the median climbed 13.9%, comparing 19 recent sales with 16 earlier ones. Its long record (forum listings marked sold (listed prices, not confirmed sales)) runs from 2011: today's twelve-month median is up 26% on that start, after a low in 2016 and a high in 2022. The two channels agree here, with medians about 4% apart (16 eBay sales against 3 auction results).
A watch-only example is priced about 13% below a full set here, a gap measured from 2 watch-only sales in the collection. The listed sales split 18 full sets to 1 watch-only and 12 partial; the rest gave no set details. The floor of the list (April 1, 2024, on eBay, set not stated) is about 63% below the worth-about figure, and its ceiling (January 13, 2024, on eBay, full set) is about 33% above the worth-about figure.
