Rolex Yacht-Master II 116681 White Dial Everose Mercedes Hands

The Rolex Yacht-Master II ref. 116681 is one of the most technically impressive and visually striking chronographs in modern Rolex history. Crafted in Oystersteel and 18 ct Everose gold, this 44 mm regatta timer combines professional-grade functionality with unmistakable luxury appeal.

This particular example features the sought-after Everose gold “Mercedes hands” dial configuration, a variation that replaced the earlier straight-hand design. Collectors prize this later evolution for its improved legibility and its alignment with Rolex’s unified design language across professional models. From an investment perspective, the Everose hands signify a transitional refinement‚Äîbridging early-production 116681 pieces to the modern generation‚Äîmaking it a desirable specification for long-term appreciation.

Powered by the Rolex Caliber 4161 automatic chronograph, the Yacht-Master II offers a programmable countdown with mechanical memory, controlled via the patented ring-command bezel. The model remains a standout among Rolex’s most technically complex timepieces.

This example is in excellent pre-owned condition with minimal wear on the bracelet and clasp. Delivered as a complete full set with double boxes, warranty card dated June 2023, booklet/manual, and green hang tag. Timegrapher-tested and performing precisely within spec.
