ROLEX YACHT MASTER 226627 TITANIUM LIKE NEW
Rolex Yacht-Master 42 — Ref. 226627
RLX Titanium — Black Dial
Presenting the Rolex Yacht-Master 42 ref. 226627, the first Rolex sport watch ever produced entirely in RLX titanium — a landmark reference that redefines what a full-size Rolex can feel like on the wrist.
The 42mm Oyster case and matching three-link bracelet are crafted from grade 5 titanium, delivering the presence of a full-size sport Rolex with a fraction of the weight of steel or gold. The material's distinctive dark, matte-grain finish sets it apart from the brighter tone of Oystersteel, giving the watch a more understated, tool-like character. The bidirectional rotatable bezel features a matte black Cerachrom insert with a 60-minute graduated scale, with polished raised numerals and graduations for precise timing on the water.
The intense black dial carries oversized applied maxi hour markers, a Mercedes-style handset, and a lollipop seconds hand, all filled with blue Chromalight luminescence for excellent legibility in low light.
Inside beats the Caliber 3235, Rolex's in-house self-winding movement, featuring the Chronergy escapement, a paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, and Paraflex shock absorbers. It offers approximately 70 hours of power reserve and is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, guaranteeing precision within -2/+2 seconds per day. Water resistance is rated to 100 metres.
Since its introduction, the 226627 has become one of the most sought-after modern Rolex sport references, prized by collectors for its unique combination of scale, lightness, and material innovation — a reference that consistently trades at a premium on the secondary market.

EVERY ACQUISITION IS HANDLED PERSONALLY.
Asked quietly.
The questions collectors ask before they call. Anything else — one message away.
Why don't you publish prices?
Most of our references trade inside a narrow private market where a public number weakens everyone's position — including yours. Figures are shared privately, usually within hours of your first message.
Can I see a watch before acquiring it?
Yes — that is the point of the desk. Private viewings are held by appointment at our Miami base, or arranged at a location of your choosing for qualified clients.
How is authenticity verified?
Every piece is independently authenticated before handover — movement, case, dial and papers — and accompanied by full provenance documentation. If a reference cannot be verified to source, we decline it.
Can you source a reference that isn't listed?
Usually. The listed collection is a fraction of what moves through the network. Send the reference you are after; typical lead time is two to six weeks depending on configuration.
Do you buy watches outright, or consign?
We place — directly, with verified buyers. No consignment limbo, no broker chains. You receive a firm view on value within 24 hours and settlement typically within days of a match.
Do you deliver internationally?
Yes. Fully insured, door-to-door, worldwide — or hand-delivered by appointment where the piece warrants it.
