Yacht-Master 42 Titanium Ref 226627

At The Second Hand Club, we are proud to present the watch that marked Rolex's first use of titanium in a production model: the Yacht-Master 42 reference 226627 in RLX titanium. Introduced in 2023 to considerable excitement, the 226627 represented a genuine material departure for a brand that had built its identity on steel, gold, and platinum. The 42 mm case is crafted from grade 5 titanium, which Rolex designates as RLX titanium, an alloy that is approximately 40 percent lighter than 904L Oystersteel while offering superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The matte dark grey dial, black Cerachrom bezel insert, and full titanium Oyster bracelet create a monochromatic, stealth-like aesthetic that is unlike anything else in the Rolex catalogue. Powered by the Calibre 3235 with its 70-hour power reserve and Chronergy escapement, and rated to 100 metres of water resistance, the 226627 delivers the full mechanical substance of a modern Rolex in a case that feels startlingly light on the wrist. For collectors seeking a pre-owned Rolex Yacht-Master titanium 226627 for sale, this is the reference that answered a question collectors had been asking for decades: what would a titanium Rolex actually feel like?
