Yacht-Master · 2007 until dropped from the catalog · Discontinued
“Regatta”
Rank #112 of 113 rated pieces in the Rolex Vault
Market range centered on the median of 5 recorded eBay sales in the last 12 months (thin data, treat as a guide).
Median recorded eBay sale price for each quarter with 3 or more sales. Dashed line marks the us retail (2020).
A mechanical regatta countdown you program through the bezel: engineering showcase, niche audience, about a 40 percent discount to its 2020 US retail.
The low grade is financial, not horological. As a machine it is extraordinary.
White gold Yacht-Master II: a 44mm regatta computer in precious metal, with the Ring Command bezel programming a countdown you will never use against an actual starting gun.
It's the most mechanically interesting watch in the Yacht-Master family and the least loved commercially, a combination that history suggests eventually flips. Until then, white gold at roughly 40 percent off its 2020 retail.
Our verdict: Passion purchase. Buy it because you sail, not because you invest.

Recorded eBay completed sales, logged at our last data refresh.
Recorded eBay sales from the last 12 months put the typical Rolex Yacht-Master II White Gold 116689 at $29,000, with the middle half selling between $26,400 and $31,600 (5 sales). Condition, box and papers move the price within that range.
No. The typical sale of $29,000 is about 40% below the $48,150 retail (2020).
The Crown Index grades it F (37/100) from real resale data, and today's call is avoid. It has lost value; not one to buy as an investment. Past prices are not a forecast.
