Roughly based on the Submariner sized Oyster case, the Yachtmaster sported more graceful lug contour, tone-on bezel insert, and more polished elements to the case and Oyster bracelet. The first generation model, Reference 16628, was produced exclusively in solid 18k yellow gold, and was offered with a variety of exotic dials, including gem-set mother of pearl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few years later in 1999, Rolex expanded the line to include a steel model with a platinum bezel assembly, a combination Rolex calls 'Rolesium'. Two-Tone Rolesor, Everrose, and white gold models followed and have proven extremely popular with collectors who want in on the Rolex experience but want something different than a Submariner or GMT-Master on their wrist. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32356367269975,"sku":"40920075","price":25000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/fz5mt0Uw.jpg?v=1600905437","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/rolex-yachtmaster-18k-as03826","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
