There’s nothing quiet about the Yacht-Master II and that’s the point. Built for regattas but worn just as often in boardrooms, this 44mm chronograph is Rolex at its most unapologetic. The two-tone combo of Oystersteel and Everose gold gives it presence without going full flash, while the white dial and blue Cerachrom bezel keep things sharp and athletic. Under the surface, reference 116681 packs Rolex’s unique programmable countdown timer with flyback reset, which is still one of the most technically interesting complications in the brand’s catalog. It’s pre-owned, but kept in great shape and comes with box and papers from 2021.
What makes this piece even more interesting? It’s discontinued. So if you’re someone who likes their watches big, sporty, and out of the ordinary, this is your chance to pick one up before they vanish from the market.
