About the Watch:
The mid-size 35mm Rolex Yacht-Master ref. 168623 occupies a distinctive place in the Yacht-Master lineup. Larger than the 29mm ladies model and smaller than the 40mm men’s reference, it offers a balanced wrist presence that works well for a wide range of wearers. The two-tone stainless steel and 18K yellow gold construction gives the watch the sport-luxury profile that defines the Yacht-Master collection.
This example features a gray dial with luminous dot and baton hour markers, gold-tone Mercedes hands, date display with Cyclops magnifier, and a bidirectional rotatable yellow gold graduated bezel. The yellow gold bezel against the gray dial creates the classic warm-and-cool contrast associated with two-tone Yacht-Master models, while the Oyster bracelet gives the watch a durable and sporty feel on the wrist.
Offered as a full set with original box and papers, this 1999 example is presented in 9/10 excellent condition.

About the Rolex Yacht-Master 168623:
The Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced in 1992 as a more luxurious nautical sport watch within the Rolex lineup. Unlike the Submariner, which was built around professional dive-watch utility, the Yacht-Master brought a more polished and precious-metal-forward design language to Rolex’s sport watch category.
The ref. 168623 is the 35mm mid-size two-tone version, combining stainless steel with 18K yellow gold and using the Rolex caliber 2235 automatic movement. Its uncommon 35mm case size makes it one of the more versatile Yacht-Master references, especially for buyers who want more presence than the 29mm version without the larger feel of the 40mm model. A full-set 1999 example with box and papers offers strong completeness for a late-1990s Rolex sport watch. See less
