Nobody brings excellence and luxury in as stunning packages as Rolex. The introduction of the Oysterflex bracelet in 2015 was a big step for the maison towards embracing contemporary watchmaking, and we were all for it. This reference M226659, released in 2019, takes this story of adaptation forward. It was the first Yacht-Master cast in white gold, presented in a larger size of 42mm.

However, except for these details, most of the specs on the watch remain unchanged. It features curvier lugs, a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel with a sandblasted finish, and a bold Oysterflex bracelet. Its legible black dial is furnished with luminous hour indexes and signature Mercedess hands, all rendered in 18k white gold. The three o'clock marker is predictably occupied by the date window.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
