The Watch Of The Open Seas: History Of The Rolex Yacht-Master

Instagram: @rolex

In the year 1992, Swiss watchmaker Rolex would debut a new model line at the Baselworld show that was strikingly similar to the already-popular Submariner. It featured the same 40mm Oyster case with a rotating bezel, the same chronometer-certified caliber, and the same Oyster bracelet.

Seemingly the only difference between the two was the white dial of that first Yacht-Master, a style which has never been an option on a Sub, and the inferior depth rating of 100m when compared to the Sub’s 300m.

Yet, the Yacht-Master was well-received upon launch, and with the passing of time, the yachting-inspired model has evolved and pioneered its own path within Rolex’s catalog.

Read on with us as we go back to the beginning and track the catalysts that paved the way for the most recent Yacht-Master release, the Yacht-Master 42 (226659), to become one of the hottest sports timepieces of the year.

The Release Of The Yacht-Master

The first Yacht-Master watch was launched in 1992 under reference number 16628. It featured a yellow gold case, a bidirectional graduated bezel, and a matching full-gold Oyster bracelet. Its dial was white with black hour indices, while at center were gold Mercedes hands, and beating inside was the 3135 movement.

Previous to the Yacht-Master’s introduction, Rolex had not released a new model line in a quarter century. So, why did they go with the Yacht-Master, a design that risked being a detractor from their existing Submariner? Let’s take a look at the inspiration.

The sport of yachting is one which demands precise timing and extreme coordination of the entire crew for optimal performance, particularly in offshore competitions.

Rolex believed their waterproof and chronometer-grade timepieces to be more than qualified to handle the knocks of a regatta and keep ticking accurately. The brand is also notorious for their marketing prowess, which led them to act quickly in establishing an association with the sport.

Beginning in 1958 with their first sponsorship of a race, the relationship has endured until today, when the brand sponsors over a dozen international yachting events.

Nevertheless, it’s hard to deny that there exists a large gap between first contact in 1958 and the release of the yacht-inspired timepiece in the early ’90s. Why wasn’t the Yacht-Master released earlier on?

Well, Rolex played around with the idea of yachting chronograph early on, though it never materialized. All that’s left of these trials are an extremely limited number of Daytona ref. 6239 chronograph prototypes with a 39mm case (vs standard 36mm) and modified regatta dials.

Unfortunately, the Yacht-Master concept was scrapped and would not reappear until decades later.

When it did return, none of the previous Yacht-Master’s DNA was there. Furthermore, the 1992 Yacht-Master was bizarrely similar to the 16610 Sub of the time.

Interestingly enough, Rolex folklore tells of a time in the ’80s when the brand sought to update their Submariner . What resulted was less of an update and more of an overhaul, manifested as what we know now as the first Yacht-Master.

Apprehensive of the repercussions that making such aggressive design changes to their staple offering could bring, the brand chose instead to release the watch intended to be a new Submariner as the reborn Yacht-Master instead.

The move worked, and the new Yacht-Masters started flying off the shelves. The Yacht-Master was perceived as a more luxurious Sub, though its bidirectional bezel proved useful for on-the-fly countdowns which are critical in sailing competitions. The waterproof nature of the Oyster case further cemented the Yacht-Master as the ideal first mate.

Mid-Size & Ladies’ Yacht-Master

In 1994, just two years after the debut of the 16628, Rolex would introduce the same design but in smaller case sizes. These were:

• Ref. 68628: Yacht-Master “Mid-Size” in 35mm
• Ref. 69628: Yacht-Master Ladies’ in 29mm

This marked the first time that Rolex ever offered one of their sports models in a smaller case size; all previous instances of case size changes were increases as opposed to reductions. It has been speculated that the smaller cases were intended for the Asian market.

In the same year, Rolex also offered the same 16628 but this time with a deep blue dial. Blue dials tend to make for broadly-liked watches, and coupled with the gold case and bracelet, the new version was once again a hit.

The Platinum (Rolesium) Yacht-Master

The next update to the model line would come in 1999 with yet another home-run: the Rolesium Yacht-Master. The new watch featured a stainless steel case and bracelet with a platinum dial and platinum-insert bezel. Rolesium, a term registered by Rolex back in the ’30s for a combination of steel and platinum in a watch, was finally put to use.

The new platinum Yacht-Master ref. 16622 was not only more accessible than the previous all-gold varieties, it was also more versatile. This would lead the 16622 variety to become the face of the Yacht-Master line.

In fact, many online resources erroneously label it the first Yacht-Master ever; this should offer an idea of how emblematic it is in the watch industry.

The 16622 also presented a new dial and hand style that would mark Rolex as a whole through to the modern day. The new Yacht-Master boasted what is now recognized as the “maxi dial”.

The maxi dial is characterized by oversized hour indices as well as larger hands at center. To the untrained eye, the difference may be difficult to spot, though experienced collectors will note the change instantly.

The maxi dial became the style of choice for all modern Rolex sports watches, though it got its start in the 1999 platinum Yacht-Master. A Submariner would first feature a maxi dial in 2003, with the release of the 50th anniversary Rolex Submariner “Kermit” (16610LV).

All versions of the Yacht-Master produced after the introduction of the maxi dial would also feature the new dial design. This included the blue, gold, and white dial versions from years past.

The Two-Tone (Rolesor) Yacht-Master

Six years after the Rolesium Yacht-Master came to be, Rolex would once more put on display their mixed-metal Rolesor style in the two-tone Yacht-Master 16623.

The 2005 debuts possessed a 40mm steel case, a yellow gold bidirectional bezel, and a two-tone Oyster bracelet. As far as dials, many of the previous styles were also available like the black-on-white, though mother of pearl version were also introduced.

It was during Baselworld 2007 when Rolex would introduce the Yacht-Master’s younger and much larger sibling, the Yacht-Master II. Whereas the original Yacht-Master was very close functionally to the Sub, the Yacht-Master II was completely the opposite.

It can be said that the only overlap between the YM and the YMII is be the name, as the second iteration looks like a whole new watch. This time, though, it’s clear that the watch has been designed with the needs of yachting professionals in mind.

The first Yacht-Master II were marked by a 44mm Oyster case, an Oyster bracelet, a white dial,  and a blue Cerachrom (ceramic) Ring Command bezel. The first two references, 116688 and 116689, were made of yellow gold and white gold, respectively.

Powering the YMII was another innovation – Rolex’s in-house calibre 4161. It features the COSC-chronometer certification and 72-hour power reserve that are today’s standard, though they were industry-leading at the time. Most notable, though, was the 4161 movement’s functions.

The new caliber boasted a “ programmable countdown with mechanical memory and on-the-fly synchronization. ” Naturally, the programming of the movement required the use of the Ring Command bezel, a feature which had also never been encountered on a Rolex watch before.

In later years, Rolex would go on to release Rolesor and full-steel versions of the Yacht-Master II, both of which have been relatively successful. The Yacht-Master II has certainly earned a spot in the brand’s catalog, and is sure to stick around for next couple of decades.

The Six-Digit Yacht-Master

Yacht-Master 116622

Twenty years after it debuted as the 16628, the Yacht-Master would see in 2012 the modernization that had been sweeping Rolex’s other model families.

Aside from receiving a new six-digit reference number (116622), subtle aesthetic changes were also present, as was an outstanding new dial option – the Cobalt Blue dial.

The case was now a “super case”, which retained the 40mm diameter but was styled differently. The bezel was now completely platinum, where previous versions were made of steel with a platinum insert. The Oyster bracelet had likewise been upgraded.

A platinum bezel / platinum dial option was still part of the collection and therefore received the same upgrades. Unfortunately, this iconic “albino” look would be completely discontinued in 2017.

The subsequent and most recent significant change to the Yacht-Master family took place in 2015, when Rolex first introduced the Everose Yacht-Master 40 ref. 116655.

The newest iteration of the YM possessed some new features. The case was made of Everose, and the bezel now boasted a black Cerachrom insert. Securing the watch to the wrist was another Rolex first – the Oysterflex rubber ‘bracelet’.

Before the 116655, no Rolex watch had ever sported a rubber band. The brand still refers to it as a bracelet given the metal elements within the band, but these are not obvious even with the watch in the hand.

This same style of Yacht-Master would receive the next update in 2019, when Rolex introduced the Yacht-Master 42 in white gold.

What’s Next?

With the recent changes that the Yacht-Master line has had, it is clear that Rolex intends to keep this model family alive and well for years to come. Consumers are likewise responding to each new release, offering plenty of feedback with their pocketbooks.

Rolex Yacht-Master 116621 Two-Tone Everose Gold/Steel and Brown Dial – Hands-On

The big novelty from Rolex at Baselworld 2016 was… you guessed it: the Daytona Ceramic Bezel 116500LN  – a very nice watch sure, but still just a simple cosmetic evolution of an existing model. However, there were of course some other watches to discover. One of these models in particular has always managed to stay a bit under the radar, the Yacht-Master, a watch that has never really found favor with Rolex purists. Last year, it was revamped by the Crown, with the introduction of an Everose / Ceramic version . While we were expecting it to be introduced in steel in 2016 , Rolex decided differently and instead unveiled the new Rolex Yacht-Master 116621 Two-Tone Everose Gold / Steel and Chocolate Dial.

What is the Rolex Yacht-Master? A bit of history

In 1992, at Baselworld, Rolex introduced a brand new model named the Yacht-Master. Now, if you know anything about Rolex, you know that the introduction of an entirely new model is not something that occurs very often. Rolex has a collection of iconic and purpose-built watches and, mostly, they improve and redesign these existing watches. In fact, a new model is so rare that, when this Yacht-Master was introduced in 1992, it was the first real novelty (and here I mean “entirely new watch”) since 1964, when the Daytona made its debut. It took Rolex 28 years to create a new model… or at least one with a new name, because, objectively, this Yacht-Master felt (and still feels) quite familiar.

This wasn’t the first time the name Yacht-Master was mentioned at Rolex however. In the late 1960s, the brand developed a nautical-inspired Daytona, with regatta counter, also named Yacht-Master – a chronograph that however remained at the prototype stage and was never commercialized. A sort of tribute to this rare bird can be seen in the current Yacht-Master II, also a nautical-inspired chronograph with regatta complication.

The first execution (1992) Rolex yacht-Master 16628 Yellow Gold

The modern-day version of the Yacht-Master made its first appearance with the ref. 16628, an 18k yellow gold version with white dial and black hour indexes. The design of this watch feels quite familiar, so it’s easy to speculate about the inspiration and the positioning of this Yacht-Master in the collection. Some stories ( and keep in mind that there’s nothing official here ) say that Rolex, during the 1980’s, experimented with tons of different options to revamp the iconic Submariner. Several attempts later, something close to the Yacht-Master appeared, however, Rolex felt that redesigning the Sub was probably not the right move. When you have an icon, you don’t want to kill it. However, the design proposed was pleasing to Rolex and they looked at options to commercialize it. It had to be slightly different from a Sub of course, so as not to cannibalize it. The decision was made therefore that this watch should be positioned as a sort of luxurious nautical watch, mixing attributes of a dive watch with the ability to be used at the yacht-club or on the deck of a super-yacht.

The distinction was simple: steel case water-resistant to 300m, black bezel, black dial and tool-ish characteristics for the Submariner. Gold case water-resistant to 100m, bright dial, solid gold bezel and luxurious characteristics (mainly due to more rounded shapes) for the Yacht-Master. For the rest, both watches were rather close: the same 3135 movement, the same dial layout, the same hands, the same 60-minute bezel (but here, bidirectional). It’s possible this close resemblance to the Submariner might be the reason why the Yacht-Master was so unpopular in comparison. This is why, over the years, it has evolved with different materials and more colors (two-tone Rolesor, blue dial, ladies’ and mid-size versions… things that the Submariner does not have).

The latest evolution of the Yacht-Master, the 116655 with ceramic bezel and Oysterflex strap

The most famous version of the Rolex Yacht-Master was introduced in 1999, under the reference 16622: steel case, steel bracelet, solid platinum bezel and platinum dial with sparkling finish. At Baselworld 2012, the brand came with a refreshed version, with maxi-dial and maxi-case, as well as a cobalt-blue dial option. Finally, a major evolution came in 2015, with the introduction of the Everose version , with black dial, black ceramic bezel insert and Oysterflex (rubber) bracelet – a new design that dramatically changed the perception of this watch.

The 2016 Rolex Yacht-Master 116621

What Rolex introduced this year is the Rolex Yacht-Master 116621 Everose Rolesor Chocolate dial. What does it mean, in ‘Rolex’ language? It means that we have a two-tone version ( Rolesor ) combining stainless steel and Everose Gold ( Rolex’s own rose gold alloy ) with a dark brown dial – a combination often used by the brand. It is not the first time that Rolex has used this Rolesor design on the Yacht-Master, as versions combining steel and yellow gold, with a white, grey, blue or gold dial, already exist. However, with this Rolex Yacht-Master 116621, it is the first time that Rolex offers a Rolesor Everose version of the model.

At Rolex, Rolesor means two-tone watches, described as such: “ Rolesor is the auspicious meeting of two metals on a single Rolex watch: gold and steel (…) The concept is simple: the bezel, the winding crown and the centre bracelet links are made of 18 ct yellow or Everose gold (Rolex’s exclusive pink gold alloy); the middle case and the outer links of the bracelet are made of 904L stainless steel. ” Thus, you would expect that this Rolex Yacht-Master 116621 follows those rules… Of course, it features a central case and a bracelet with satined outer links in steel. It also features Everose polished central links and bezel. However, the crown remains steel (which was the case already on the previous two-tone version ref. 16623). Look at all Rolesor watches by Rolex and you’ll see that the Yacht-Master, including this ref. 116621, is the exception. Nevertheless, I have to admit that, personally, I prefer the crown to be steel instead of gold, as I always felt this gold touch to be quite awkward.

The case is the usual Yacht-Master design, with a 40mm diameter and rather rounded lugs (while modern Submariners or GMT-Masters have bulky, squarish lugs) positioning this watch in the more luxurious category, strong crown protection guards – also rounded – and an abundance of polished surfaces (only the bracelet features satined surfaces). The bezel is the most striking design touch of this watch. It is now machined from a solid block of Everose gold but still with the same style as before: large, raised numerals, their polished surfaces contrasting nicely against the sand-blasted background. This has always been a distinctive point of this watch, compared to the Submariner – and the main aspect that made this watch more elegant and dressier than the Subs. Nevertheless, the bezel is bidirectional but, with its 60-minute scale, allows for recreational diving sessions.

With this Rolex Yacht-Master 116621, the brand opted for a safe combination, with a dark brown “chocolate” toned dial. This combination of Rose gold and brown dial has been widely used by the Crown. It gives the watch a warm aspect and a luxurious touch. The dial is finished with a sun-ray pattern, which affords gorgeous reflections in natural light conditions. The indexes, hands and Rolex logo are gold, allowing for great contrast and legibility. Traditional for this watch, the name of the model is printed in red, making it rather discreet. The date is displayed at 3 and, as always with the Crown, placed under a cyclops.

On the wrist, the Yacht-Master is very comfortable (thanks to the rounded lugs and crown guard) and offers a great combination of sports and luxury, which makes it a quite interesting weekend watch. Perfect for those who are not actively using their timepieces (for that, go for a Submariner) but who still want to be safe in case of an impromptu jump in the harbor. In fact, in this chocolate / Everose Rolesor combination, the watch gains a certain elegance and refinement, clearly setting it apart from the Submariner – and thus, making highly desirable. It perfectly deserves its name as a nautical-inspired watch that was not designed to be a tool watch.

As part of the new collection, this Rolex Yacht-Master 116621 also benefits from the latest technological features of the brand, including of course the blue Parachrom spiral as well as the new Superlative Chronometer certification (guaranteeing that the watch runs in the -2/+2 s/day range) and the 5-year warranty.

The Rolex Yacht-Master 116621 Two-Tone Everose Gold / Steel with Chocolate Dial can only be ordered in 40mm and for a price of 12,900 Euros or 13,400 CHF . Rolex.com .

Staying on course

The Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 37 in Oystersteel and platinum with an Oyster bracelet.

Bidirectional rotatable bezel, timing the distance.

The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made entirely from precious metals or fitted with a Cerachrom insert in high-tech ceramic. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background.

This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity.

Exceptional legibility

Like all Rolex Professional watches, the Yacht-Master 37 offers exceptional legibility in all circumstances, and especially in the dark, thanks to its Chromalight display.

The broad hands and hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – are filled with a luminescent material emitting a long-lasting glow.

A legendary combination

Many Rolex watches are available with the now-legendary combination of yellow, white or Everose gold and steel known as Rolesor, but Rolesium is a creation specific to the Yacht-Master.

While the case and bracelet are in rugged Oystersteel, the bezel of the Rolesium versions is made of platinum, imparting a silvery whiteness and vibrant luminosity for an unmistakable sense of luxury.

The Oyster bracelet

Alchemy of form and function.

The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock folding clasp, which prevents accidental opening and the Easylink comfort extension link, also exclusive to Rolex.

This ingenious system allows the wearer to increase the bracelet length by approximately 5 mm, providing additional comfort in any circumstance.

History of Stavropol Krai

The most ancient archaeological finds date back to the 4th millennium BC. The territory of the present Stavropol region was successively part of the state of the Scythians (the 7th - 5th centuries BC), Sarmatians (the 3rd century BC - the 3rd century AD), Huns (the 4th - 5th centuries AD).

Later, from 620 to 969, this territory was part of the ancient state called the Khazar Khaganate. Approximately in the 8th century, with the weakening of the Khazar Kaganate, the medieval state of the Alans appeared here. In 1238-1239, a significant part of the plain Alania was captured by the Mongols, and this state as a political entity ceased to exist.

In 1556, the Russian troops took Astrakhan and opened the way to the North Caucasus and the Caspian Sea. In Ciscaucasia, the interests of Russia, the Ottoman Empire, the Crimean Khanate, and Iran collided.

In 1777, according to the decree of Catherine II, the Azov-Mozdok defensive line was founded, which gave rise to colonization of the Ciscaucasia and the North Caucasus. The territory of the Stavropol region became part of Astrakhan oblast. In November 1777, the fortress called Stavropolskaya was founded. In 1782, about 500 retired soldiers lived there.

More historical facts…

In 1785, in connection with the development of Ciscaucasia, the Caucasian guberniya (province) was created that included the Caucasian and Astrakhan regions. Since that time, Stavropol officially became one of the six county-level towns of the Caucasus region.

With the development of the Ciscaucasia, Stavropol was gaining an increasing importance as an important trade and transit center. It became a kind of the main gate of the Caucasus. In 1822, the Caucasian province was transformed into an oblast and Stavropol became its center. After the defeat of the Decembrist uprising, a lot of its participants were sent here. In 1837 - 1841, Mikhail Lermontov, exiled to the Caucasus, visited Stavropol several times.

In 1847, the Caucasian oblast was reformed into Stavropol gubernia. With the formation of the Kuban and Terek Cossack regions and the end of the Caucasian War, the military-political and economic importance of Stavropol significantly reduced.

In 1919, the Stavropol province was occupied by the Bolsheviks and included in the territory of the North Caucasian Soviet Republic. As a result of the Second Kuban campaign the region went under the control of the Volunteer Army.

In October 1924, the North Caucasian region was formed and Stavropol gubernia was reformed into a district within the region. On January 10, 1934, the North Caucasian Krai was divided into the Azovo-Chernomorsky and North Caucasian. The town of Pyatigorsk became the center of North Caucasian Krai. In March 1936, North Caucasian Krai was reformed and, on its territory, Ordzhonikidze Krai with the center in Ordzhonikidze (Stavropol) was formed.

During the Second World War, from August 1942 to January 1943, the region was occupied by the German troops. In 1943, Ordzhonikidze Krai was renamed Stavropol Krai. In December 1956, the first part of the Stavropol-Moscow gas pipeline with a length of 1,300 km was commissioned (at that time, it was the longest gas pipeline in Europe).

During the 1970s-1980s, 56 new enterprises were opened in the region, among them the Prikumsky Plastics Plant - the largest chemical plant in the region, four power units at the Stavropol power station, and new capacities at the Nevinnomyssk enterprise “Azot”.

On July 3, 1991, Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous Region withdrew from Stavropol Krai and became the Karachay-Cherkess Soviet Socialist Republic. On April 21, 1992, it became the Republic of Karachay-Cherkessia of the Russian Federation.

About Rolex Midsize Watches

Along with both men's and women's models, Rolex also produces a number of 'Midsize' watches that offer case diameters that sit between the classic gents and ladies sizes. Although most Rolex watches produced up until the 1940s have case sizes that would classify them as midsize models by today's standards, it was not until the 1950s that Rolex specifically began producing smaller sized versions of some of their best-selling designs.

Rolex Midsize watches will sometimes be referred to as ‘boys size’ models in older catalogs and marketing materials, and this term is also used to describe midsize watches from a variety of other brands. While Midsize Rolex watches offer slightly reduced case dimensions and often do not feature quite as many options as the standard-size models in the brand's catalog, all Rolex Midsize watches are built to the same legendary standards that serve as the foundation of Rolex's sterling reputation.

Midsize Rolex Watch History

Most of the full-size wristwatches that were produced during the early years of Rolex's history would be considered 'mid-size' by today's standards. However, these timepieces were never originally produced to be mid-size models and were simply standard men's models for the time. Their smaller case sizes are simply a reflection of consumer preferences at the time, rather than an intentional effort by Rolex to produce a more compact watch.

Following the success of the 1945 launch of the Datejust collection, Rolex began to introduce additional sizes of date-displaying wristwatches during the 1950s. This marked the official start of Rolex Midsize models as watches that were specifically produced to be smaller versions of existing models. Along with ladies watches that were significantly smaller, Rolex also introduced several mid-size models that were slightly smaller than their full-size counterparts, while still significantly larger than the Lady-Datejust watches.

Since the 1950s, Midsize Rolex watches have remained a constant part of the brand's catalog; however the definition of 'mid-size' has changed over the years. Historically, 36mm was the standard size for Rolex's various men's models. While many of the brand's sports watches offered larger case diameters, 36mm was the largest size available for many of Rolex’s most famous classic watches like the Datejust and Day-Date collections.

However, once Rolex released larger 40mm and 41mm versions of their classic watches, the traditional 36mm versions became classified as 'mid-size' models, while the 31mm versions technically became grouped into the 'small-size' category within the Rolex catalog. Most 36mm watches are still considered men's Rolex watches, but since they are no longer the largest size available within their respective collections, they are now found under the mid-size category within the Datejust collection section on the Rolex website. Today, Rolex Midsize watches can be found with case diameters ranging from 31mm to 36mm, with the 34mm and 36mm versions offering a number of different dial and bezel styles that will appeal equally to both men and women alike.

Additionally, it is also worth noting that while the majority of the Midsize Rolex watches are from the brands various classic collections, the Yacht-Master is the only Rolex sports watch to ever offer models with reduced case diameters. In the past, there were both Midsize and Lady Yacht-Master watches alongside the standard 40mm movel; however the ladies model has been discontinued, and the case diameter of the Midsize version has been increased from 35mm to 37mm for a slightly more contemporary look and feel.

Today, there are more Midsize Rolex watches in the brand's catalog than ever before, and they are becoming increasingly popular among female buyers. Historically, Rolex has always adhered to rather modest case proportions for its watches, but as modern consumer preferences have called for larger timepieces, Rolex has adapted, and now offers a wide variety of timepieces that are slightly more compact than the fill-size models, while still being significantly larger than the traditional Rolex women's watches.

How Much Is A Midsize Rolex Watch?

Retail prices for Midsize Rolex watches start at $5,000 for the 31mm Oyster Perpetual in full stainless steel and increase from there depending on a variety of factors such as the specific model and the materials used in its construction. On the pre-owned market, prices for used Midsize Rolex watches start out at roughly $2,695 for older discontinued models and reach well into the tens of thousands of dollars for models crafted from precious metals and set with diamonds or other gemstones.

Rolex Midsize Prices

Given that Midsize Rolex watches exist across a wide variety of different collections, the price range for Rolex Midsize models is incredibly large. Certain Rolex Midsize watches are simple stainless steel models with time-only movements, while others feature calendar displays and are crafted from solid 18k gold or platinum and set with diamonds and other precious gemstones. Consequently, the price range for Midsize Rolex watches can span anywhere between a few thousand dollars and tens of thousands of dollars.

When purchased brand-new at retail, the least expensive Midsize Rolex watch is the 31mm Oyster Perpetual in full stainless steel, which costs $5,000. Consequently the most expensive Rolex Midsize model would be one of the diamond-encrusted Pearlmaster 34mm watches in solid 18k Everose pink gold. Even the most affordable versions of these models will all cost tens of thousands of dollars when purchased brand-new, and the most expensive models will not even have their retail prices listed on the official Rolex website, with ‘ price upon request’ being the only thing stated.

With that in mind, these ultra-luxurious Midsize Rolex watches can often be found at a significant savings on the pre-owned market. At retail, these models are some of the most expensive Rolex watches available, and while they will never be inexpensive due to the premium nature of their materials, second-hand prices typically do not come without the steep premiums that are charged at retail. For those looking for the ultimate luxurious Rolex Midsize watch, buying a Pearlmaster on the pre-owned market is the most cost-effective way of purchasing one.

Generally speaking, more modern Rolex Midsize watches will be more expensive than their older counterparts, and those crafted from precious metals will almost always cost more than full stainless steel or two-tone models. Even on the pre-owned market, the price range for used midsize models is incredibly large, which means that there is a Midsize Rolex watch for every possible wrist and budget.

Rolex Midsize Watch Models

Rolex midsize watch sizes.

When looking at the different Rolex sizes available , the Rolex midsize, as the name suggests, falls right in the middle of the small and large size watches.  Since the 'Midsize' designation applies to a number of different Rolex watches, the actual size of a Midsize Rolex can vary depending on the specific collection. Including both current-production and discontinued models, Rolex Midsize watches are available in the following sizes:

• 31mm - Oyster Precision, Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, Date
• 34mm - Oyster Precision, Oyster Perpetual, Date, Air-King,
• 36mm - Oyster Precision, Oyster Perpetual, Datejust, Day-Date
• 37mm - Yacht-Master

Rolex Midsize Datejust

The Datejust is Rolex's best-selling watch collection of all time, and as a result of its success, the collection is offered with a remarkably diverse range of options and variations. Rolex Midsize Datejust models include the 31mm Datejust 31 and the 36mm Datejust 36. However, the collection also technically includes the 34mm Rolex Date. Although the Date has a slightly different name compared to the Datejust, the functionality of the two watches is virtually identical, and Rolex now includes the Date 34 as part of the greater Datejust collection on its official website. Additionally, it is worth noting that Rolex recently began grouping the 31mm version of the Datejust into the ‘small size’ category, as there is now a 41mm version that has taken over the 'large size' position within the brand's catalog. With that in mind, Midsize Rolex Datejust watches are offered in a wide variety of different materials and also with a vast range of options in regards to the different dials, bezels, and bracelets that are fitted to them.

Rolex Midsize Oyster Perpetual

As Rolex's most simple and straightforward watch collection, the Oyster Perpetual represents the entry-point into Rolex ownership. Much like the Datejust, the Rolex Oyster Perpetual collection is available in a number of different sizes, including several Midsize options. Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches are produced with case sizes that range from 26mm to 39mm, with the 31mm, 34mm, and 36mm versions occupying the Midsize options. In the past, Midsize Rolex Oyster Perpetual watches were produced in both two-tone and solid gold configurations; however all current-production Oyster Perpetual watches are crafted entirely from stainless steel, regardless of case size.

Rolex Midsize President

The 'Rolex President' nickname typically applies to the brand’s flagship Day-Date collection, and there has never been a Rolex Day-Date watch with a case-diameter smaller than 36mm. With the introduction of the larger Day-Date watches, the 36mm version became the Midsize option and additional dial and bezel styles were added to the line. However, in addition to the 36mm Day-Date President, there is also a 31mm Rolex Midsize President, which is actually a Datejust 31 crafted entirely from solid gold and fitted with Rolex’s iconic President bracelet. Although the Rolex Day-Date 36 could technically be considered a Midsize Rolex President, it is actually the 31mm solid gold Datejust on a President bracelet that is officially known as the Midsize President model.

Rolex Midsize Yacht-Master

While much of Rolex's legendary reputation was built upon its purpose-built sport and tool watches, the Yacht-Master collection is the only like of Rolex sports watches to offer a smaller version of the original model. At the present time, the Rolex Yacht-Master 37 is the Midsize Yacht-Master model within the brand's lineup; however in the past, Rolex offered both Midsize (35mm) and Lady Yacht-Master (29mm) models. While the classic 40mm model is technically the mid-size option within the current Rolex Yacht-Master lineup, as it sits in the middle between the 37mm and 42mm models, it is actually the 37mm version of the Yacht-Master that is officially classified as the 'mid-sized' model within the brand's current catalog.

Common Rolex Midsize Questions

What size is a rolex midsize watch.

Rolex currently produces watches with case sizes that range from 26mm to 44mm; however these days, it is generally accepted that those with case diameters between 31mm and 36mm fall into the "Midsize Rolex" category. With that in mind, 36mm has historically been the standard size for men's models and still is an incredibly popular size for men’s watches, while 31mm is now what Rolex would classify as a "small size" within the current Datejust collection on their official website. Additionally models such as the Rolex Yacht-Master 37 are classified as midsize watches simply because they are smaller versions of the standard model (40mm), despite their fairly average case diameters.

Does Rolex Still Make A Midsize?

Despite the definition of 'midsize' changing slightly over the years, Rolex does still make midsize watches by all definitions of the term. As of 2020, Rolex currently produces Midsize watches with 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 37mm case diameters, and these sizes are offered across 6 different collections within their catalog, including the Datejust, Day-Date, Oyster Perpetual, Date, and Pearlmaster,

What Are The Sizes Of Rolex Watches?

Rolex watches exist with case sizes that range from 24mm all the way up to 44mm, and some vintage ladies' cocktail watches can have cases that are even smaller. With that in mind, not all sizes are available for every Rolex watch collection, and many Rolex models are only manufactured in one size. Including discontinued models, Rolex's various self-winding watches can be found with the following case sizes: 24mm, 26mm, 28mm, 29mm, 31mm, 34mm, 35mm, 36mm, 37mm, 39mm, 40mm, 41mm, 42mm, and 44mm.

How Do You Measure A Rolex?

Typically, the size you will see listed for a Rolex watch refers to the diameter of its case. This measurement excludes any additional protrusions the watch case might have such as the lugs, winding crown, crown-guards, or chronograph pushers, To measure a Rolex watch, take either a ruler, tape measure, or set of calipers, and measure the diameter across the center of the case from one edge to another.
