Description
This replica yacht-master 126655 is the Everose gold edition on an Oysterflex bracelet, carrying reference m126655-0002 at 40mm. The Yacht-Master in Everose gold represents the luxury end of the sailing-inspired lineup. Unlike the steel or two-tone variants, the 126655 pairs the warm rose gold case with a matte black Cerachrom bezel and a black dial, creating a high-contrast combination that reads as sporty and refined at the same time. Rolex developed the Everose alloy in-house, using platinum content to resist fading over time.
Case & Movement Specs
- Reference: 126655-0002
- Case diameter: 40mm
- Case material: Everose gold (18ct)

The Oysterflex bracelet uses a flexible metal blade covered in black elastomer, with a titanium and nickel alloy insert for longitudinal rigidity. It is more comfortable in warm weather than a metal bracelet and lighter on the wrist overall.
Caliber Breakdown
The Cerachrom bezel on the 126655 features raised polished numerals against the matte black ceramic surface. This bidirectional bezel rotates with 120 clicks, matching the graduated 60-minute scale used for regatta timing. The combination of Everose gold case and black accents gives the watch a tonal warmth that stainless steel versions cannot achieve. The Oysterflex strap adds a sporty character that balances the precious metal. Within the Yacht-Master range, this sits at the dressier end of the spectrum. For a two-tone approach with a metal bracelet, the 116621 chocolate dial on Oyster bracelet provides an alternative route into Everose gold.
How It Compares
The 126655 occupies a specific niche: full precious metal case with a rubber-style strap. This setup puts it closer to watches like the Aquanaut or Royal Oak Offshore in wearing experience, even though the Yacht-Master design language is distinctly Rolex. At 40mm it wears comfortably under a shirt cuff, and the Oysterflex strap eliminates the bracelet pinch that can occur with metal links. The matte black bezel keeps it from looking overly formal despite the gold case, and the raised numerals add a three-dimensional texture visible from across a table. This replica yacht-master 126655 bridges the gap between sport and dress in a way that few other references manage.
