Year: 2023
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Inner & Outer Box, New Style Warranty Card dated 2023, Green Superlative Chronometer Hangtag, manual is missing.
Notes: The reference 126655 is the modern definitive expression of the Yacht-Master, pairing Rolex's proprietary 18K Everose gold with the high-performance Oysterflex bracelet.

Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2023 timepiece has been worn sparingly and meticulously maintained. The Everose gold case retains its original factory luster and sharp edges, showing only negligible surface hairlines consistent with light, careful use.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The matte black "Intense Black" dial is pristine. The 18K Everose gold hour markers and hands, filled with long-lasting blue Chromalight luminescence, are flawless. The sapphire crystal is immaculate, and the Cyclops lens provides a clear, magnified view of the date.
Case & Bezel: The 40mm 18K Everose gold case is in excellent condition. The signature bidirectional rotatable bezel features a matte black Cerachrom ceramic insert with raised, polished numerals that are sharp and free of any marks or chips.
Strap/Bracelet & Clasp: The Oysterflex bracelet is in excellent, supple condition. The 18K Everose gold Oysterlock safety clasp shows only very light surface swirling and operates with crisp, factory precision. Most importantly, the clasp includes the Rolex Glidelock system, allowing for fine-tuned adjustments without tools.

What Makes the 126655 Everose Special
The Rolex Yacht-Master 126655 is a masterclass in the "stealth-wealth" aesthetic. While crafted entirely from solid 18K Everose gold, the matte black ceramic bezel and black Oysterflex strap give it a sporty, understated profile that hides its high-precious metal content from a distance. The Oysterflex itself is a marvel of engineering—it isn't just a rubber strap, but a flexible titanium-nickel alloy blade overmoulded with high-performance elastomer, providing the durability of a metal bracelet with the comfort of rubber.
This 2023 model benefits from the latest Rolex movement technology (Calibre 3235), offering a robust 70-hour power reserve and the Chronergy escapement for improved efficiency. Unlike the earlier 116655, this reference includes the Glidelock extension system in the clasp, allowing the wearer to adjust the strap length in 2.5mm increments—a vital feature for maintaining comfort as the wrist expands and contracts throughout the day. As a complete 2023 set, this watch remains under the majority of its Rolex international warranty through 2028.
