A Brief History of Ladies’ Rolex Yachtmaster Watches

The history of Ladies’ Rolex Yachtmaster watches is a journey marked by significant milestones. In 1992, Rolex unveiled the Yacht-Master collection, offering a luxurious take on nautical timepieces. Then, 1994 saw the introduction of a 35mm mid-sized edition, initially intended for the Asian market and men with smaller wrists, but this size was embraced by women.

In the 2000s, these watches ventured into luxury territory with features like mother of pearl dials and two-tone metal variations. The Rolesium Yacht-Master, combining steel and platinum, followed with its debut in 2012.

Subsequently, in 2015,  Everose gold models emerged, and so did the 37mm Yacht-Master, becoming the default choice for the ladies’ Yacht-Master range.
