Rolex Yacht-Master 18K Yellow Gold Men's Watch — Model 16628, Ca. 1998
Description
Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Yacht-Master in 18K yellow gold, reference 16628, 40 mm case. White dial with gold-tone baton hour markers, gold-tone hands, date window at 3 o'clock, and red 'YACHT-MASTER' text — all consistent with the dial as shown. Rotating knurled yellow-gold bezel with raised minute numerals. Integrated yellow-gold Oyster bracelet. Serial number dates production to approximately 1998, consistent with the heavier Yacht-Master variant briefly produced during that period. Movement runs. Bracelet has 11 links present (one link missing; one extra loose link included). Finish shows normal age-appropriate wear; not over-polished. Would benefit from a light professional polish to bring to retail presentation.
