Built around a 40mm round Oystersteel case, the Yacht-Master 40 ref. 116622 draws immediate attention with its bidirectional rotating bezel crafted from solid 950 platinum. The bezel presents raised numerals set against a sandblasted background, while a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with Cyclops lens sits above a dark rhodium dial rendered in a deep grey tone. Chromalight luminous markers and dot-and-index hour indicators ensure legibility across varying light conditions, with blue luminescent material providing extended visibility in the dark.
The Oystersteel Oyster bracelet is composed of flat three-piece links and secured by a folding Oysterlock safety clasp equipped with an Easylink 5mm comfort extension link. The screw-down crown employs the Triplock Triple Waterproofness System, and the watch carries a water resistance rating of 100 meters (330 feet). A solid case back completes the well-sealed construction.
Powering the watch is the self-winding Rolex Calibre 3135 automatic movement, a 31-jewel caliber offering a power reserve of approximately 48 hours along with hours, minutes, seconds, and instantaneous date with rapid setting. This example is pre-owned and in mint condition, and it is accompanied by the original Rolex papers.
