In 1992 Rolex made luxury watch history by releasing the Yacht Master. The ultimate sports watch, the Yacht Master originally came only in 18kt gold and was available in a 40 mm format. It had a 3135 movement, the same as the Sub-Mariner and the Sea Dweller. The Rolex Yacht Master was to become luxury watch of preference for sailors, and is now one of the most popular high end sports watches in the world. Created with the sailor and the sea in mind the Yacht Master combines the elegant craftsmanship of Rolex with the specific needs of seamanship.
In the mid nineteen nineties Rolex released a smaller version of the Yacht Master. At 35 mm and at 29 mm, the slimmer Yacht Masters are suitable for the ladies who prefer a luxury timepiece, and for thinner wristed men. Other developments in the Yacht Master line include models available in two tone steel and yellow gold, in Rolesium, with a synthetic sapphire crystal and with an Oysterlock bracelet. Often the Yacht Master may be found with jewels positioned in the face, and the watch may be fitted with a mother of pearl dial. Diamonds, baguette sapphires and rubies are popular choices to make the exquisite watch even more luxurious.
