Rolex Yacht-Master in everose gold with a black batt sand-blasted background

Argentinian legend Leo Messi, one of the best footballers of all time and recent Ligue 1 champion with PSG, wears a 40mm Rolex Yacht-Master in everose gold with a black batt sand-blasted background. The bidirectional rotating bezel features 60-minutes graduated raised polished numerals and surrounds a black dial with dots and sticks.

Watch Description

Rolex watchmakers pulled no frills with the latest everose gold Rolex Yacht-master, cramming practically every fantastic concept they’ve ever had within one incredible timepiece. Since the early 1990s, the Rolex Yacht-master has always been available in various components, ranging from steel and gold to platinum. From one extreme to the other, they are renowned for being gleaming and sumptuous. Therefore, it is no wonder that the decision for using rubber to debut the redesigned Rolex Yacht-master caused quite a stir throughout the industry.

The mechanical caliber that features 31 jewels, as well as a 50-hour power reserve, is its in-house Rolex movement. It vibrates at 28,800 vph and boasts a stunning power reserve. Without any doubt, it wouldn’t be whole minus their “Cyclops” magnifier.

Their corrosion-resistant black ceramic “Cherachrom” bezel inlay is extremely durable. This patented ceramic substance is exceptionally scratch-resistant and exceedingly durable. Also, it doesn’t tarnish in the sun like some other materials. They also used their proprietary “Triplock” crown that screws into the casing to seal them like a submarine opening.

In addition, Rolex’s Everose gold, a patented alloy, produces an ideal tint of pink gold that is not overly feminine or masculine. The crown, casing, bezel, indicators, and luminous filled hourly markings and hands make this adaptable valuable metal alloy.

The casing is made of 18ct Everose gold, and it’s the first instance this metal has been used on the Yacht-Master. Everose is Rolex’s exclusive red gold alloy, which includes a few droplets of platinum to keep the color from fading over time. Aside from that, it’s a conventional Oyster casing with a Triplock crown as well as a 100-meter depth rating.

As opposed to the Submariner or GMT, what stands out in this casing design is how much more elegant it is. Even though both watches are 40mm, the Yacht-Master has softer forms and milder curvature. Everose’s creamy softness contributes to this impression.

The bezel and matte dial aren’t the watch’s big surprises. It’s the new Oysterflex bracelet, which is supple and comfortable for the user. A tiny blade of titanium/nickel alloy is at the core of the bracelet, forming its shape and allowing it to adhere to the casing and clasp. The innovative wings on the interior of the bracelet that provides some padding and enable ventilation of the bracelet on humid occasions only add to the comfort element.

Additionally, the elegant bracelet is a delight to wear, even with the gold case. Besides, the size and dimensions of the case make it unnoticeable on the wrist. For a pure gold Rolex, the watch is very subtle. In between the bezel, dial, and the bracelet, there’s plenty of black, which helps to hide the Everose’s bursts. This is perhaps the best illustration of Rolex’s hidden luxury beyond the platinum versions you’ve ever seen. It’s thus the ideal combination of sports and luxury.
