Rolex Yacht-Master, 18k Yellow Gold "Lugholes" Case · Ref. 16628 · 1993 · Watch only

Rare early 1993 Rolex Yacht-Master 16628 with Iconic Lugholes Case — A True Collector’s Grail.

This exceptional piece features the highly sought-after drilled brushed lugs that mark the earliest production run of the Yacht-Master line.

When Rolex launched the 16628 in 1992, the distinctive new case design wasn’t quite ready, so these inaugural models were fitted with modified Submariner cases — making them a unique bridge between two iconic collections.

Once the standard Yacht-Master case rolled out, these lugholes versions became instant rarities.

Finished in pristine 18k yellow gold with stunning onyx hour plots and matching Oyster bracelet.

Powered by the legendary Caliber 3135 chronometer movement with48-hour power reserve.

This is an absolute must-have for serious Rolex collectors seeking something genuinely different and historically significant.
