The Yacht-Master yacht series created by ROLEX for sailing is a relatively recent product developed by the brand. It was not officially launched until 1992. Although its shape is a bit close to the Submariner, the former is a professional diving watch, while the yacht is designed for water use. It is designed for sports activities, so its waterproof performance is “only” 100 meters, which is not particularly good, but it is more than enough for people who engage in sailing sports. Since the advent of the yacht series, it has been gradually derived into two sizes: 40mm and 37mm. It is a Rolex sports watch suitable for both men and women. In recent years, more surprising changes have appeared in this series one after another, forming a quite diverse and substantial series. Appearance.
First, in 2015, Rolex introduced its own developed Oysterflex rubber strap to the yacht series, breaking the tradition of metal chain straps in the previous series. Currently, each size of the yacht series has rubber straps or metal chain straps to choose from. Provides watch enthusiasts with the opportunity to compare and highlight personal preferences. In 2019, for the first time, the yacht series appeared with a watch diameter expanded to 42mm. However, the original 40mm has not been discontinued, so so far, the series has maintained three size settings, ranging from 37mm to 42mm. The 2023 42mm Yacht-Master will become the brand’s second work made of RLX titanium after the Deepsea Challenge. Since this titanium yacht has been widely circulated on the Internet, Rolex’s official release time is still a year late. The above makes watch fans say “I’ve finally waited for you.”
The Yacht series is positioned relatively high-end among Rolex’s sports watches. This can be seen from the fact that the series of products at least all have gold steel cases (let’s ignore the Yacht-Master II for now). Therefore, the price of the watches will be higher than other Rolex sports watches. ; Taking the year when the 42mm yacht was launched, the entry-level model 268622 (37mm platinum steel) in the series was priced at HK$90,100, while the 226659 (42mm platinum) was priced at HK$238,500 when it was first launched. In the past four years, they have increased by 5% and 10% respectively. As for the current pricing of popular models in the yacht series, let’s take a look at them by size:
★37mm
268621-0004——HK$ 112,000
268622-0002——HK$ 90,100
★40mm
126622-0002——HK$ 95,800
126655-0002——HK$ 225,200
★42mm
226658-0001——HK$ 227,700
226659-0002——HK$ 238,300
At present, the entry-level models of the yacht series are priced closer to HKD 100,000, and the number of precious metal models priced over HKD 200,000 is gradually increasing. However, the performance of yachts is not so strong compared to other popular Rolex series, especially after the second quarter of 2022. Due to the overall decline in prices in the high-end watch market, the secondary market prices of various yacht series watches are now generally going down.

It seems that more than half of these styles are There are also overpriced markets (even if some premium rates are not very high).
However, more than half a year later, the current prices of various sizes of the yacht series do not seem to have fallen to the bottom. Also from the data collected by WatchCharts, it can be seen that the 37mm Eternal Rose gold and steel model 268621 is currently priced at approximately US$14,203 (approximately HKD) abroad. 110,01) and 37mm platinum steel 268622 are priced at US$11,240 (approximately HKD 88,000). The current price of 40mm platinum steel 126622 is US$13,335 (approximately HKD 104,000), and the market price of 40mm eternal rose gold 126655 is US$27,969 (approximately HKD 218,000). The last two models I saw were the 42mm gold model 226658, which is priced at US$30,898 (approximately HK$241,000), and the 42mm platinum model 226659, which is priced at US$27,465 (approximately HK$214,000). After six months of development, the price of the six watches With the evolution, the secondary market prices have dropped further, and now only two of the six styles priced in the Super League are left.

Among the two overpriced yachts, the premium rates from high to low are 8.4% for 126622 (40mm platinum steel) and 5.8% for 226658 (42mm gold). The original premium rate last month was 3% for 268621 ( 37mm Everose Gold Steel) this month, the market has also fallen within the pricing range. It can be seen that the degree of over-pricing of yachts is not as surprising as imagined, and if the trend of the past half year is maintained, then these two models are still at over-pricing, and there is a chance that they will be sold in the future. When it reaches below the pricing line, if you want to buy it then, the burden will be a little less.
