The 116621 is the Yacht-Master that introduced Everose Rolesor to the collection — a two-tone combination of Oystersteel and Rolex’s proprietary 18k Everose gold alloy, paired with a chocolate sunburst dial available exclusively on this configuration. At 40mm, it sits at the intersection of nautical sport watch and precious-metal dress piece, a combination no other Rolex collection offers in quite this way.

The 116621 Up Close: Case, Dial and Bracelet
What defines this Yacht-Master is the bezel. Unlike the Submariner’s unidirectional ceramic insert, the YM bezel rotates in both directions and is cast entirely in 18k Everose gold with raised, polished numerals standing out against a sandblasted matte background. The 40mm case combines brushed Oystersteel sides with Everose gold on the crown guards and winding crown, creating a warm two-tone profile visible from across a room.
The chocolate sunburst dial is exclusive to Everose Rolesor Yacht-Masters — you will not find this color on any steel or white gold reference. Applied hour markers and Mercedes hands carry Chromalight luminescent fill for blue glow in low light. The two-tone Oyster bracelet alternates brushed steel outer links with polished Everose center links, finishing with the Oysterlock clasp and Easylink extension.

Movement Options: Swiss vs Japanese
This is a straightforward time-and-date watch, so both movement tiers handle the functional requirements comfortably.
- Swiss Automatic — References the Caliber 3135: 28,800 vph, approximately 48-hour power reserve, quickset date via crown, hacking seconds, Breguet overcoil hairspring. Proven architecture that Rolex used across the Submariner, Datejust, and Yacht-Master lines for over two decades.
- Japanese Automatic — Miyota-based with automatic winding, hacking seconds, and quickset date. Slightly lower beat rate and approximately 40-hour reserve, but exceptionally easy to service at any independent watchmaker — a practical advantage for a watch meant to see regular wrist time.
Both versions operate identically from the outside: automatic winding via the Perpetual rotor, date adjustment through the screw-down crown at the second position. The Swiss option tracks closer to the 3135’s timing specifications.
